I love animals. I really do. For instance, cows taste really good when ground up and placed between two slices of bread with lots of fixin’s (as they say across the river). Honestly, i don’t think I’ve yet met an animal that I didn’t like better on a plate (cats and dogs notwithstanding, but that’s a cultural thing - I’m sure they taste fine).

PETA are animal lovers too. But they don’t love them enough to eat them. In fact, they are so averse to show animals their consumptive affection that they can’t even stand videogames that simulate eating animals.

And what does said videogame company say in its’ defense? Read on.

As the old saying goes: “If God didn’t want us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them out of meat.”

Man, if I had a dime for every ‘escaped simian’ story we posted, I’d be blogging this from my beachfront property in Tahiti. Yet another crazed monkey has eluded the elite Tokyo MCC (Monkey Catching Corps). The monkey, which entertained the crowd with its’ cop-dodging antics, is now on the loose, and is probably gathering henchmen to help steal some experimental kryptonite laser or somesuch.

“It’s a monkey - it’s not like it did anything bad,” a police spokesman said, adding that the animal was still on the loose.

The monkey was spotted hopping around by the automatic ticket gates at a train line in Shibuya Station in central Tokyo at about 9:40 a.m.

It then ran downstairs to the entrance to another line, climbed up and down a pillar and ran around the ticketing machines before taking refuge on top of a train information board for two hours, a spokeswoman for railway operator Tokyu Corp said.
