I am not a Georgia Bulldog fan, but, again, when PETA came for Uga, mascot for the two-time National Champions, they came for the SEC, they came for all of us. My beloved Gators, the Vols, the Tide, War Eagle, LSU, Ole Miss, the Hogs, the Aggies, ALL of us
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has launched a major campaign against the University of Georgia for its use of live English bulldog for its mascot.
A Feb. 28 news release from the organization labeled “Bulldog bestiality?” cites breeding practices that include male dogs being “sexually stimulated by invasive human hands.”
Oh PETA! You ignorant activist nimrods! Be careful, UGA might bite your PETA asses! I mean UGA knows bad types, and miscreants like Robert Baker
Former Auburn University wide receiver Robert Baker became part of University of Georgia lore nearly two decades ago when UGA mascot Uga V lunged at him after he scored a touchdown.
The iconic photograph that captured the moment in 1996 has been widely displayed by UGA fans and a video of the near attack has been played on the video board at Sanford Stadium.
Now, after a brief and disappointing NFL career marred by drug arrests, Baker faces a possible penalty of life in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday to federal heroin trafficking and firearms charges.
Baker, 37, was stopped by a Lowndes County sheriff’s deputy on Jan. 20 because his car’s windows were illegally tinted, according to court records. The deputy noticed a large amount of cash in the car and a subsequent search turned up 59.5 grams of heroin and a 9mm semiautomatic pistol.
An UGA knew he was bad. UGA would tell us that PETA is a cabal of nuts, miscreants, buffoons, and emotionally stunted agitators. Maybe they are jealous as UGA’s Lewis Grizzard, the great Southerner/writer/comedian, and Dawg fan who is looking down from Heaven. Grizzard would ponder if PETA is jealous because they are not “stimulating” UGA. And Grizzard would certainly warn the horny PETA perverts, about UGA “That dog would bite you…..”
We are playing Auburn. Sanford Stadium. National Television. Winner wins the Southeastern Conference; goes to the Sugar Bowl.
85,000 people jammed into Sanford Stadium. National television audience. This game is on the Armed Service Network. People in Switzerland are seeing this ballgame. Going everywhere.
The band cranks up “Glory, Glory to Ole Georgia” and our team comes running out. 85,000 stand as one.
We are led by our gallant mascot, UGA-U-G-A. What a dog! What a gorgeous dog. What a symbol of ferocity. But UGA ain’t real smart. UGA did not realize he was at a football game. Nor did he realize he was on national television, and was going into living rooms the width and breadth of this great nation.
And there, in front of all them people, he began to lick himself where dogs occasionally want to lick themselves, ok?
We don’t have to get any more graphic than that.
Bubba an’ Earl sittin’ on the fifty.
Bubba sees the dog, punches earl and said, ‘Earl, look at that dog. Dadgum, I wish I could do that.’
Earl said, ‘ Bubba, that dog’ll bite you!’”
SEC! SEC! SEC!
I heard the joke ended with “maybe if you pet him first”.
Maybe I’m all wet here but, aren’t there plenty of people and places that actually do treat animals “unethically”? But then, I imagine that those places might be a lot less fun and require a lot more fortitude to visit and those people may actually be a lot less pleasant to deal with (i.e. more confrontational and even a bit dangerous) than your typical college football game. And you may not get quite the headlines there either.
Hey PETA, how about you reread your mission statement and get back to us on this one, we’ll wait. And then if you’d really like to begin making an actual difference, I could spend a few minutes to compile a short list of places you could do that, you may have to get dirty though, I hope that doesn’t conflict with your principles.
Then some of us might start taking you seriously.
