Mexican woman wearing a jewel-encrusted beetle has her 'pet/brooch' removed by customs when she tries to enter the US

Yes, that's right, the woman was wearing a live beetle, covered in gold and jewels, as a brooch. A LIVE beetle.

The bit that made me  swamp poop was the PETA statement.

Really? People 'relocate' ants and roaches?

I 'relocate' spiders. I consider them allies in the good fight against all flying vermin.

How do they relocate ants and roaches? Gentle coaxing? Little signs?

It does put down the argument that PETA only wants to save cute and cuddly critters.
I still think they're hippie jackasses.

I wish I could remember where I first heard of it ( I think it was Dirty Jobs of all places)  but it stretches all the way back to Egyptians wearing jewel-encrusted scarabs.  Yes, live ones.

I should call PETA to relocate the citronella ants out from under my house slab. Even the co-op extensions are saying "oh, they're just a nuisance and should be ignored". Yeah, ignore a few hundred ants in my kitchen. How 'bout I drop a few queens off in your kitchen, jackoffs?

Pissed a hippy kid off a couple weeks ago. Told her I belonged to PETA, she was all 'that's really so amazing, blah blah' and I told her it was the People for the Eating of Tasty Animals. The Bacon rule.

I relocate most things, really, but ants, roaches (not that we have a problem with either of those happily), and the infestation of tiny black beetles we had in the kitchen are exceptions.

In particular I save spiders when I can but mostly our cats eat them now.

Yeah, I don't see many buggies or spiders in the house since getting the kitties.  Once in awhile I'll get those little millipede thingamabibbies that curl up into a ball if you touch them  -  which they leave alone, of course.

Oh no, I hate insects and thankfully my cats do not have any to play with, but a beetle jewelry is mental imagery on par with AH GAD ALL I CAN SEE IS PAUL BETTANY'S TAINT.

So... yeah.

Clearly, next time someone here needs pest control, you should call PETA and let them come and "relocate" them instead. For free.

PETA is a terrist organization.  As an active member of the Circle of Life, I feel free to dispatch any life form which is a bother/food for me.  Nature says the strong dominate the weak, so I figure PETA members are huge fucking hypocrites.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.
