The Steady Drip [Satire]
What a wonderful coming together of two diverse groups! We need more gatherings where the idiot activists are given warm, moist, aromatic welcomes like this one. This is why PETA usually protests women wearing fur rather than bikers wearing leather. Sounds to me like the old saying, “you mess with the bull, and you get the horns”. Gee, I guess these characters thought that Bikers where going to be politically correct like the rest of the wimpy world.
HERE’S HOW POLICE FOUND ONE OF THEM.
Johnstown, PA (GlossyNews) – Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers “duct taped inside fast food restaurant dumpsters,” according to police officials.
“Something just went wrong,” said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. “Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong.”
The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activists, “growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats,” decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event “in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats.”
“In fact,” said the organizer, “motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it, ergo, they should stop.”
According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960′s era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting “you’re murderers” to passersby. This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began.
“They peed on me!!!” charged one activist. “They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me ‘La Trene’ and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!”
Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”
Police officials declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the investigation; however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed “surprise” at the allegations.
“That’s preposterous,”said one high-ranking member of the biker organizing committee. “We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We invited them to the party!
What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about inclusiveness. Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome.”
When confronted with the allegations of force-feeding the activist’s meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and ‘farting on their heads,’ the organizer declined to comment in detail. “That’s just our secret hand shake,” assured the organizer.

Yes, let’s all mess with bikers because if bikers use leather for their seats, it’s going to be the end of the friggin world! OMG!
So, instead of protesting against the police, the banks, the government, the wars, the Fed Reserve, these idiots somehow feel that the worst thing going on right now in the world are bikers who have leather seats. ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME????!!!!
Omg, some people just never grew up and never will. These people ought to go home and re-think their life. That’s all I have to say.
EXACTLY. America is full of severely obese kids and severely malnourished kids. And they’re protesting against bikers with leather seats?
Leave our Bikers alone,they do more for America then anybody, I’m a biker chick and I know their hearts, They will not insight a riot,but hold the people down until things calm down. They bother nobody, I do wish I was there that day, Bikers come from all walks of life,they are strong in the relationship and respect for one another, they are BROTHERS, UNTIL THE END!!!!!!!! Keep it going my biker family, and thanks for Washington DC, You gave Americans our pride back!!!!!!!!!!God Bless you 1 and all!!!!!!!!
I like what you said! I have many friends who are bikers, regular and hardcore, and respect each and every one of them. So what if they wear leather! I don’t see these panty-waist protestors going against the stores, including Harley, that sells the leather. My wife escaped having her mink stole splatted at the Fox Theater years ago in Atlanta. Good thing too, because if the guy had accomplished it – he would not have been too happy afterwards as I am a Brown Belt in Judo and they would have had to carry him out. Only one time did I break someone’s leg…and he had come at me with a knife because I was dating his ex-girlfriend. These protestors really don’t know what they’re getting into. Oh, and it is “incite”….
Do you even lift, bro?
I would have judo flipped that guy. I would have judo flipped him so hard!
Amen to that Helen, I’ve been riding for 44 years and there are no better people on this God given earth.
Except when they are trafficking meth or crank or guns.. lol
Amen! They need to worry about their own problems and the real problems this country has
Why isn’t PETA concerned about all the Eagles and different birds killed everyday by these so called Wind Generators. These huge blades are slaughtering our national bird (The Eagle) by the thousands. Come on PETA, protest that.
Turn of your computer and quit complaining how you get electricity to your home.
…turn OFF your computer. I think I learned the difference between “of” and “off” in 1st grade with my pre-biker friends.
Grammar nazi, you’re so cool.
Do you have proof of these eagles and other birds flying into wind turbines? If so, I’d REALLY like to see it. Birds aren’t that stupid. They hear and see better than we do, and they know better than to fly into the blades of the turbines.
Squirrels see and hear better then me too but damn if they don’t run under my tires like idiots.
It happened to me once. I cried for six blocks!
They have run under mine too more than once
Its called Natural Selection
Protest the cars! Those evil machines are killing our squirrels!
I swerve to hit those lil rascals when they’re not in season,then I hunt them when they are.You know,they are worth $.25 per tail if they’re nice to the right company. 😉
Thats a game Squirrels play called CHICKEN
I ran over a male squirrel yesterday, I know it was a male squirrel as I heard its nuts crack.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

oh come on now, do you really expect a libtarded peta crap lover to actually do any sort of investigation or searching on their own?
What am I missing here?
Someone claims that wind turbines are killing “Thousands” of our “National Bird” (Bald Eagle)!!!!
You ask for proof!?!?!?!?
Tons of people jump in with links to sights making claims like “85 Eagles in 5 years, 79 of which were Golden Eagles (Not our national bird).
So you asked for PROOF that 1000s of Bald Eagles are being killed and you get links to articles putting the number at 6!
WTF am I missing here?
Yep. They have never ran into a window at my house.
Really, birds aren’t that stupid ? Ok then we’ll just use their most popular nickname “birdbrain” and attach it to your level of intelligence.
Oh, by the way. There are hundreds, if not thousands of documented instances of birds being killed from wind turbines.
http://news.heartland.org/newspaper-article/2013/07/24/us-wind-turbines-kill-14-million-birds-and-bats-every-year

uuuuummmm Troy i hate to burst your bubble but birds do fly into jet airliner turbines FYI.
I live in Upstate NY, where in the last 6-7 years, hundreds of this giant wind turbines have been constructed. Since they’ve been built, they have actually hired a special “clean up” and grounds maintenance crew. Every work day they go out to the turbines and gather up the numerous deceased birds that have flown directly into the rotating blades. I’m not an activist, nor do I really care about it all. You just asked if there was proof of this and I’m letting you know that I live right next to them and have friends that work on this crew. My only issue with the Turbines is that they are constructed way up here and the cheaply priced energy that they generate is supplied to NY City and New Jersey when they could be supplying the energy to all of us that live up here as well.
proof?

Turbines killing birds. I love that…
Did you know that more birds are killed by cars, trains, houses, airplanes, tall buildings. Those numbers are NOT combined either. More birds are kill by cars then by turbines, more birds are killed by crashing into buildings then by turbines. If you want proof of this, gimme the weekend to drudge up all that info as it is not readily available to me.
so the birds can see the turbines but not the buildings,how strange
I never saw a turbine made of glass. All of the birds that have run into my house hit the glass. Turbines are made of painted metal Many skyscrapers are covered with glass. (Think freedom tower). Not so strange!!
The reason that birds occasionally fly into houses or tall buildings is due to the reflective quality of windows. Whatever reason, whether being startled by noise or trying to escape from becoming prey to another bird, some birds fly into the windows thinking that they are either flying into another tree, as in the case of a house or short building, or into empty sky, as in the case of a tall building.
They’re birds, don’t question their methods.
What the living hell do birds have to do with bikers teaching PETA freaks a lesson? Stay on the subject for crying out loud!
they have shut down wind farms in california for high bird casualty counts. it is disingenuous to pretend you do not know the high numbers of birds killed by your precious wind turbines.
Disingenuous? Disingenuous? Seriously? I have a degree in Wind Energy, I have studied it for more then two years while getting my degree. I am the WRONG person for you to pick this argument with and to prove my point, here are some FACTS.
The massive bird kill you are talking about was because of poor planning.
That was BEFORE companies realized that they had put the turbines up in a flight path for those birds. Since that time, companies have been aware and plan Wind Farms with that in mind.
There are about 10 Billion birds in the US.
As for the high number…
About 33,000 are killed each year by Wind Turbines
(0.00033% of the total population)
Buildings kill about 97 Million birds a year
(0.97000% of the total population)
Communication towers kill about 4 million birds a year
(0.04000% of the total population)
Cars kill about 60 million birds
(0.60000% of the total population)
Bulk Transmission power lines kill about 174 million birds a year.
(1.74000% of the total population)
Where is your outrage now?
http://www.fws.gov/birds/mortality-fact-sheet.pdf
Do not go toe to toe with me on this subject. I can smack you down with facts just as I did now.
The article was funny enough, but I have gotten a months worth of laughing reading this thread! Thank you so much! Reads like “Who’s on First”!
Tell me Thomas, WHY is it that Firefighters DO NOT have to respond to wind turbine fires, the ONLY call they do not have to respond to LEGALLY. These fires burn for days and pollute the air, ground and watertable.
1st, explain to me how a turbine fire can pollute the groundwater table.
2nd, http://www.fireengineering.com/articles/print/volume-164/issue-4/features/response-to-emergencies-in-wind-turbines.html
Firefighter life safety considerations
The obvious challenge facing firefighters is the height involved if a fire occurs in the turbine motor. Towers can extend 300 to 400 feet above ground.
However, due to the risk of falling fire debris over a wide area, approaching a burning turbine is usually not an option unless there is a life risk involved. If the turbine is turning, power is being generated and an electrocution hazard will be present.
Typically, a good option for firefighters to consider is to evacuate any endangered areas, set up a collapse zone, and attempt to control any ground fires to prevent the fire from spreading to other units.
In the case of a runaway or over-speed event, rotating turbines can throw debris thousands of feet away during a blade failure. Pieces of blades have been documented as traveling over 4,200 feet. Distance and time will fix this problem. Pre-incident planning and SOP development are keys to success for safely handling this unique danger.
I do not know anything about the legality issue, I will have to research that, but I assume it has to do with the fact that that almost all RURAL fire departments are volunteers and as such are not equipped to hand a structure 300 feet high in the middle of nowhere and likely no water hydrant nearby. Best they can do is stated above.
thomas who cares what u studied. go post ur self obsorbing rant on the proper page. this post is about bikers and peta.
Ii believe in the long run… the pollution that the turbines can reduce will allow all species to exist healthier. Alternative energy is the only thing that will save our world.
So how many trains, houses, buildings, and cars are there compared to windmills? My guess is there are many more.
Are you insinuating that we should remove all windmills, trains, houses, buildings and cars? You first!!
Thomas the article you cite from is from Jan 2002. Here is an article from March 2013. http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/23/study-feds-underestimated-how-many-birds-get-killed-by-wind-turbines/ It States that numbers are severely underestimated. 573,000 Bird deaths and 888,000 Bat Deaths. One thing that you do have to take into account on some of the numbers is how many wind turbines there are as compared to cars, buildings, trains. Can you explain why Exxon had to pay 600,000 for killing 85 protected birds and PacifCorp paid 1.4 million for 245 Eagles. yet the wind farms do not have to pay any fines. A dead bird by any other means is still a dead bird.
While these comments are getting off commenting on the article in question I’ll put my two cents in on this debate:
Windmills are far from being a major part of the solution to generating electricity in a manner that burns fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, etc) Even putting aside the birds and bats killed (not that this is an insignificant issue) they are far too intermittent to generate a significant amount of power on a consistent basis that society requires. Generating electricity through biogas generators is a far more reliable form of alternative energy. The gas required is in plentiful supply from livestock manure and even human waste. Far from perfect but together with geothermal it could generate a large chunk of the electricity needed by our modern world.
Jay needs to do some research wind turbines/wind generators dont and cant kill birds! this is a myth, bats are the only animal that are killed and not by hitting the blades, its by the change in air pressure on the bats lungs that kill them (the capillaries and vessels burst)
So this is a stunt bird. I love it when birds mess with humans and fake hitting wind turbines…
I bet he never does that again!
that bird was too far away from that blade besides it was fake cause somebody was parked there and was illegaly inside the wind generator farm in the first place.
My neighbor has a small windmill. Just yesterday he found a freshly sliced (into four pieces) blackbird…his beak was still moving. Yes, windmills can and do kill birds.
Seriously? You really think eagles are that witless?
Lets see, having a wind farm in my area or living downwind of a coal fired generation plant?
I’ll take the wind farm please.
Even though my neighbors, 2nd cousins sons girlfriends Aunts friends bosses brother in laws son get nose bleeds when they drive by a wind farm!! ROTFLMAO!!!
This is from the U.S. Dept of Fish and Wildlife
Not all bird species are equally vulnerable to wind turbines. Eagles appear to be particularly susceptible. Large numbers of golden eagles have been killed by wind turbines in the western states. However, bald eagles have also been killed, although not in the numbers seen in the West. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) prohibits the take, possession, sale, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, of any bald or golden eagle, alive or dead, including any part, nest or egg, unless allowed by permit.
http://www.fws.gov/midwest/wind/wildlifeconcerns.html
as for your comment on Coal Power Plants I can tell you just watch believe anything msnbc tells you, just like your comment on the Eagles.
My home is about 3 miles from a coal power plant and I have friends that live within a quarter mile of the plant without any health issues nor do we experience or see any soot residue due to the scrubbers that are used in the stacks and personally I would rather live near the coal plant then a wind turbine farm (my in-laws have a farm in SW Kansas next to a bunch of turbines and the low freq hum drives them crazy when they are inspecting crops) or nuclear power plant (can you say Japan)
Cats and Squirrels aren’t clueless, yet I hit them all the time. You’re an idiot, if you don’t think nature isn’t susceptible to the downfall of what we create. It’s altered environment.
What about the Pigeons. No one cares about them, They are being chopped up by these big blades by the millions and no one cares.
Soon there won’t be any left.
PETA where are you.
Oh I remember, you are out partying with some motorcycle enthusiasts…
Get onto it quick when you get back from the party.
You’re right! We should be supporting fossil fuels!
A little carbon emission and greenhouse gas never hurt anyone.. right…?
This is what happens in a free country when people think that their freedom of expression is the ONLY freedom of expression and try to force their views on others. The secret to true freedom is do whatever you want with your life and let others do the same. There are many other people in the world I don’t like what they do and they annoy me but I have my life and so long as they don’t bring it to my house that is fine. Go protect the whales or speak out on global warming or hug a tree I don’t care but don’t tell me I can’t smoke or go out target practicing with an AR-15 or whatever weapon of choice I choose so long as I am not hurting you or your family. Tell the gun activists to get the law to enforce the laws on the books now and go after the people that are actually misusing firearms. Criminals don’t obey the laws. Activists should read the Constitution and if they don’t want to end up duct taped to a tree don’t be throwing paint or colored water or whatever at people. Violence begets violence… read the Bible!
Amen!! and yes yes yes!!!
Unfortunately for the pita chips we don’t play in that same bullshit world as you guys do thinking your gonna act out Tword us ( usually peaceful bikers) and not get a punch in the head or duct taped to a tree or dragged on he back of my bike…remember growin up on the block and you gave some dude shit and he handed your ass to ya ….welcome back to the block
’nuff said!!
“Go protect the whales or speak out on global warming or hug a tree…” <– no need, the bikers already made them ;), just not sure the trees deserved thaaat treatment 😉
Thank you, Frank, for actually commenting on the original topic…well-said!
The idiots got off easy. One can only imagine their fate if they had showed up at a rally of badass bikers in the 1960s.
they use leather for there coats and pants for protection from their bodys hitting pavement and such

Wow Lee, pretty clever there…people eating tasty animals…Come up with that on your own?
Probably works in advertising…
lol good one i am a activist for PETPV (People against Ethical Treatment of Plants and Vegetabes) EAT MEAT
I remember being much impressed and delighted by this story back in 2009 when it first came out, only to find out after I started sharing it that it was a hoax and that was “had”. . It never happened. I felt as if I had been ‘conned’ because it all looked so real.
http://www.thespoof.com/news/us/66233/three-reported-missing-after-animal-rights-activists-take-war-on-leather-to-motorcycle-gang-rally
I hope the Democrat weenies in Washington DC, New York, and California read this article and learn not to F with the bikers. More bikers showed up in DC than police or US military. And that was just the bikers that showed up. Then there are the 80,000,000 angry gun owners. Many of whom are Military and Police.
Funny, I can’t believe these idiots. They deserve what they got and more… dumbaxxes
PETA stands for ” PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS”
This story is NOT even true. It was originally written as a parody.
Being a rider myself i had to spend soommme time on the floor trying to stop laughing.I still havent stopped and my sides hurt.Something went wrong alright ,they f@#ked with the wrong people.I really fell on the floor about the farting on their heads part.But i guess it couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of people than the peta idots.
It gave us a good laugh, too. 🙂
That reminds me, time to mink oil our leathers.
I’m not a biker and it has been some years since I knew any, they were Banditos and Road Barons for the most part and decent people as long as you left them alone. This story is hilarious and makes me want to look up a couple of them and pass it along. I’ve heard of dumb and dumber but these idiots did not pass GO and went straight to STUPID. Damn, I’m going to be laughing all night and I have work to do tomorrow.
But it’s worth it.
I was laughing hysterically too and that coming from someone who was once a vegetarian (for health reasons only….my leather coat is lined in bunny fur that I’m sure someone had the pleasure of putting in their stew) More often than not, bikers do amazing things for communities. Leave them and their leather seats and wardrobes alone. You may need them one day!
And Roll Tide.
This story is NOT even true. It was originally written as a parody.
I am not a biker, but I have a lot of biker friends. Peta takes their causes to an extreme. When they butcher a cow for meat, why not use all of the cow including the hide. Bikers have always worn their leathers. They will continue to wear their leathers. They surely messed with the wrong people. They need to realize that they were actually treated very mildly from some of the stories that I have heard. This was truly funny.
I am still laughing at this! My God, what is this country coming to? If these people spent more time looking at who the hell they voted for we would be a lot better off. BTW, am I going to be stalked and picketed because my new Chrysler van has a leather dash, leather seat covers? How many new vehicles are sold every day with the same? How many of these tree huggers, and Peta fanatics drive vehicles that have the leather covered dash and seats???
A vintage 60’s van has “gasp” LEATHER SEATS! Hypocrites! PETA, People for the Eradication of Tame Animals!
HAHAHAHA HAHAHA HAWHAWHAW…Ya gotta love it!
I’m not sure, but that definitely looks like a PETA wrap to me.
RLMAO!!!
Your pronunciation is right, but the spelling is French – PITAE
People Insulting Tasty Animal Eaters
Winner! LOL!
I have an alligator skin seat on my bike. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
This story is a little old, but never gets old if ya know what I mean.
to the bikers that did this…..thank you thank you thank you thank you. My only complaint against you is I should been warned first before I read this. I am still spewing milk from my nose laughing so hard and I havent even drank any milk today.
LMFAO! So glad there are some non-conformists left who don’t buy the glorious pc collective utopia bravo sierra. Ummm…bout time for some tasty animals for supper.
LOL. As if PETA is a bunch of angels.
Its satirical fictition, but funny.
In all seriousness though, all PETA would have to do to protest the bikers wearing what minimal safety gear they do is have an “I’d rather go naked than wear leather” protest by college babes at a rally. The bikers might even pretend to listen if the ladies bothered to look pretty for it.
wtf i’m crying with laughter at something that was wrong – I love the work of PETA, those poor mislead activists will probably suffer long term trauma from their treatment
I think only the victims can’t laugh at this !
My club is P.E.T.A. = People for the Eating of Tasty Animals. That’s what I’m saying. Leather chair, Crown Royal Black on ice and a nice thick T-Bone steak. With real blood thank you very much.
Amen. 🙂
Hey Angel, You doing o.k.? I wasn’t able to spend much time on the computer at work today, so I’m just now catching up.
No more problem so far?
We’re OK. I’m just a bit foggy brained. Didn’t get much sleep last night after the incident, then spending hours getting the computer up and running again (got knocked off after my last comment of the evening). Making it an early night. Have a long day at the VA hospital (on the far side of Brooklyn) tomorrow.
That won’t be any fun. How much of the transportation is running again?
Glad to hear you’re okay. Be careful, watch your back.
Blessings.
And a big bucket of hot wings & drumsticks, can we have that with the steak? Lol
This made my day 🙂 I would hold them down and fart on their heads too!
good god! bikers wear leather to protect themselves in event of a crash.
Its a good thing.
they are themselves dupes in cattle-clothes, even PETA.
I’m not a member of PETA, nor am I a member of a motor cycle gang. I’m just a guy who works everyday, raised two daughters, would like to believe there is a God and Jesus and all that, but animal abuse has to stop. I’ve seen videos that would shock your conscious. Now don’t get me wrong, I love pork chops and steak, and I don’t see myself giving up either of them to go vegen, but if I ever catch anybody abusing animals that way, it’s a Louisville Slugger to the teeth; cowboy, hippie, rebel, or yank…doesn’t really matter. I own leather and I like it. I’m not talking about ending animal husbandry, I’m not talking about those who humanely slaughter their animals for food and clothing, I’m talking about those WHO ABUSE animals. I can tell you now, if you kill my dog, I WILL kill you, it doesn’t really matter who you are, what color you are, what job you have, or how much money you’ve got. You’ll be grave yard dead. I love my dog more than I love my own life. Some people would call that loyalty misplaced, but you don’t know my dog.
I agree with ya Robert. I also watched some realy nasty shows and I also worked on the kill floor or a place called packer land back in the early 70`s thaty would turn your stomach. In fact have you watched the documentary called “The Earthlings” yep it is one mean gross show on how animals are treated for slaughter. Ya know what there Robert – I have known some really hard old time bikers in my day and they were some of the best nicest people around and would never hurt or abuse a animal and they are not no vegan or vegatarian. The ones I know would kill for their dog or chicken or cow, whatever, case closed Robert!!!————————–P.S. Robert, Most of the bikers that I have known didn`t realy care that much for most people – except for their family and their brothers – so you should maybe direct your remarks to the PETA people!
Hey Robert me and my boys are havin a get together in Johnstown would you like to attend !
I remember seeing “Faces of Death” as a kid – what got me was the monkey served for dinner scene – that brought out the 1% in me, if I was there and armed I would have culled everyone except the ladies who were struggling not to puke – Jokes !
if these bikies start getting iced there might be another new group of suspects now, besides rival gangs lol
Yea Brian, that monkey table they had on faces of death was just plain wrong I think, but that is just me…… I know some people that could have their head locked in the center of a table like that monkey did.
Faces of Death was all fake.
Just like this article.
Nothing like pointing out what half a dozen others ALREADY have.
Redundancy must be your specialty, I take it.
Take a pill or something Robert. Damn… Nobody is going to kill your Poodle.
I am with Robert, having grown up in an agriculture community I have seen farmers and meat packers treat animals inhumanely. I do not have a problem with killing an animal for food and or its skin. Hell I wear leather and had steak today.
Until you see an animal suffer on an assembly line because some dumb retard thought it was funny for him to go to disemboweling alive you do not know what he is talking about.
I am with him too about his dog. If someone shot my dog I would shoot him dead eventually first he would suffer though for the scum he proved himself to be.. Knee shots are extremely painful.
PETA is not about animals as much as it is about feeling good about themselves. They are saying to themselves, I am so good, I am out protecting poor animals that cannot protect themselves. Never mind that an over population of deer, draught with no food due to the draught, suffer long and painful deaths as opposed to hunters reducing the population and to numbers that the habitat can support. They do not educate themselves. They are not selective as to their targets and are crude in their attempts to protest. They are much like the tree huggers that are responsible for inhibiting controlled burns and lumbering that help control forest fires. They are just plain ignorant and self centered.
Seriously — you’ll kill a human being? What the hell is wrong with your people? A dog’s life does not equate in value to a human’s life. You’re not much better than these Peta freaks.
Or if you were both drowning in a river, would you not climb over top of your clinging dog to safety? Common sense; survival of the fittest, and from a Christian perspective, we’re given dominion over the animals (though we don’t have them suffer needlessly).
You people are the reason why so many animals in the west are living better than half the world’s humans whom live on less than $2.50 (PPP) a day; an utter disgrace.
You must never had made a connection with your dogs. Our dogs are like family.
Harm my dog, and I WILL harm you.
Kill my dog, and you better hope there is a cop you can run behind.
I will murder you. Just as if you harmed or killed a family member.
I would feel less upset about a stranger being killed in front of me than my dog.
Dont mess with my family.
PETA is well-known for grabbing pets out of people’s yards, off their porches, and then stripping their collars, tags, etc. to take to their “no kill” shelters to euthanize that same day. People have the right to protect their homes by whatever means necessary.
Oh damn, that made me laugh hard enough to blow coffee out my nose. PETA can piss off. Oh wait, they got peed on. HUZZAH bikers and well done!
So, PETA, the organization that kills more animals than anyone else shows up to protest? Laughable.
Where was greenpeace or any of the other environmentalist groups?
Shouldn’t they be protesting PETA for showing up in an emissions belching gas hog? Yes, a vintage VW bus is one of the worst environmental offenders.
LMAO !!! PETA= People Eat Tasty Animals.
This righteous act constitutes the finest example of sculptural “PUBLIC ART” in existence!! Many thanks to the (biker) artists who dug deep down into their souls to create it.
Hey…at least they were nice enough to used ducktape…which harms no animals when made…lol
This article made my day! I can’t stop laughing! I would love to buy those bikers a beer and try out the “secret handshake!”. As a police officer I’d cite the special ed student taped to the tree for loitering and thank the bikers for a job well done! One more thing…..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hour later still giggling.
The dweebs vs the bikers…no match.
I’m amazed at how many people are taken in by stories like this. This particular one dates back almost three years, to the January 3, 2010 edition of The Spoof, in which it is clearly stated that the article is wholly fictional.
Yes, it’s funny. It’s also fake.
As much as I hate it, this is an urban legend.
Still funny.
I went to the PETA website …. and they don’t even talk about this event ….. I wonder why??? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
As an avid, lifetime motorcyclist, I can tell you that leather is an important part of HUMAN SAFETY while riding. It saves HUMAN lives and unnecessary misery should a fall occur.
To place the use of a dead animals skin above human suffering is simply myopic retardation at it’s extreme.
They got what they deserved
Hey, if the cow is no longer wearing it, why shouldn’t we?
JB,
It was not mentioned because it was SATIRE. IT NEVER HAPPENED. Sadly- because PETA will never actually stop throwing red paint on little old ladies- the bikers did not get a chance to piss on them all.
I wish people would actually read a “news” article before posting about it. The Onion, Glossynews, Skewednews…these are all FUNNY papers, making fun of things that never happened. When no ones name is mentioned, when there is no actual location mentioned…these things are created.
So, as much as I WISH this had happened….it didn’t.
If you care more about dogs and cats than what else the world has going on you should be first in line when they start the draft as to make sure you do not procreate.
Great job bikers , should have shit on them too . they are scum like the green scum .
Still not paying attention. The story is a FAKE. It never happened.
Payback is a Biscuit…lol.
O-M-G!
Do they know how many little ducks it took to make all that Duck Tape?
OH< THE HUMANITY!!!
I call BS. Real bikers would have killed them. If this story happened, the bikers in question were pussies.
It’s already been WELL established that this is a satire.
Try reading the comment section once in a while, and save yourself the trouble of repetious replies.
Easy Vance! If they would have been killed, what lesson would they have learned and been able to share with the rest of their kind? We bikers just want to do and enjoy our thing without being bothered by those who do not know or understand what it is we do, like you for instance! Now, scurry along little boy!
For clarification’s sake, this story is a satire, hence it is BS, but funny nevertheless whether you are a biker or not.
Good!!! Love it!!! This is a damn good example of what should be done when a bunch of moralistic, snobbish, “I think this is right, so everyone else must bow to and live by it or else”, holier-than-thou idiots get together to try and force any and everyone else to live by their will and beliefs. I think those poor bikers should be given damages for the rude, inhospitable attitude they were given by the PETA protesters and their bullying tactics and harassment. After all, that would only be right in these politically correct “Ow, my feelings were hurt!! I want money!!” days, isn’t it? Lolol
P.S. – I was laughing so hard after reading this, I forgot to mention in my reply that I don’t believe it is really a valid news story, as if it were, real bikers would have killed them. But if it is true, then kudos to the real bikers for knowing that it wasn’t worth ruining their lives over PETA and showing restraint to just embarrass the hell out of them and ridicule them. That makes it much more entertaining to tell their kids/friends and whoever else and embellish it just a little!
Kind of wish it were true, might make others think a little and start using some damn common sense . . . Maybe.
For those who are not aware (all of you?) this story was satire. Its been repeatedly posted as true and it simply is not.
Sadly, this is ONLY about the tenth comment or so that has pointed out that very fact.
Aren’t most bikers members of PETA??
People
Eating
Tasty
Animals!!
leather is skin of animals, humans are animals, if a peta activist messes with me and my leathers, I will stop wearing them if they remove their skin first, and I would be more than willing to help them take it off…
This is a hoax. This `demonstration’ never happened, this is satire folks.
SERIOUSLY???
That’s it!!!
I give up.
Yes, it really is a hoax. I can’t recall the name of the site this first appeared on, but it was a satire site, along the lines of, but not nearly as good as, `The Onion’.
You’re ONLY at least the fifteenth person who’s pointed this fact out.
The redundancy is becoming excruciatingly obnoxious.
Yep, #1, I noticed that too. Happening alot it seem`s doesn`t it Just thinking again on the keyboard again, ya know, #1 LOL!!!
Which is exactly why I always read the rest of the comments before putting my two cents worth in, digger.
Perhaps so, but what does that make all the people still replying and calling someone else “idiots”?
Which is truly the more obnoxious? And who are the real idiots?
The real idiots are the ones who don’t take the damn time to read the other comments before making their own repetitious comments!!!
CAPICHE???
Yes, I suppose I do. It seemed that you were angry with the people who don’t read the comments, as am I, but it also seemed that you were angry with those of us who point that out.
My apologies for misunderstanding.
Sorry. I usually take out my ire on those who most deserve it – the so-called ‘government’, the Zionist pigs in Israhell, Nazi stormtroopers that laughingly call themselves ‘law enforcement’ in this country, Monsanto, creators of some of the deadliest toxins known to man as well as poisonous GMO’s, the so-called ‘medical establishment’ who are killing our kids (as well as adults) with their toxic vaccinations, and the like.
The majority of the articles I post are of a very serious nature, usually dealing with those types of subjects, and some can be downright depressing, so when I do come across something that can make people laugh and cheer them up (whether true or not), I won’t hesitate to post it.
Knowing the mutitude of methods that the NWO is employing to kill me, my family, and my friends, and doing everything in my power to counteract their insanity can be extremely stressful at times, so if I didn’t find some comic relief from time to time, I’d probably lose it completely.
Personally, I Appreciate the “comic relief” and occasionally send in posts for the same purpose. 🙂
Did you see the one I posted about the idiot dope dealer in N.Y. that tried to take on two undercover pigs with a bb gun?
Now THAT was funny!
btw, I just posted on your Monsanto article, now I need to step out for a smoke to calm down. lol 🙂
Hope you’re doing well, Angel. No more pork problems?
The article is funny. I believe the original source is The Onion, which means it’s actually not real. But it is still funny.
That was one of the funniest things I have ever read! Very nice. People should keep their nose out of other people’s buisiness! They got what they deserved!
The article’s fake as hell (and the pic has been circling the internet for years. It’s from a college prank ages ago), but it still made me laugh.
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Thank you bikers.
My only hope is that the PETA organization will see that the biker use of leather is their #1 problem and focus 100% of PETA’s focus, work and protests on biker gatherings. The non-violent ‘secret handshake’ of the bikers is perfect. I can see hundreds of PETA volunteers duct taped to trees, dumpsters, enjoying hot dogs and being portable latrinesk….I love it. Maybe then the PETA folks can leave the rest of us alone. Thank you bikers for making my day….I am still chuckling at the mental images of how the bikers included them in their party.
As a member of a motorcycle group, I can sympathize with them. It’s not their fault that the IDIOTS didn’t like their invitation.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!
Whether this is real or not, PETA tends to go too far when protesting, like throwing red paint on people’s clothing. It’s amazing that this type of thing doesn’t happen more often. Everyone has the right to protest peacefully, but when you start throwing stuff at the people you are protesting against, it becomes assault. If any of those idiots ever threw paint at my leather coat, the LAST thing they should worry about is being taped to a tree….. A hospital bill would become their primary concern.
While I don’t dispute the notion that someone has thrown paint on a fur coat at some point, PETA doesn’t actually do that, they are intentionally provocative and controversial, but also have become a subject of what are little more than urban myths, perpetuated by things like this fake news bit, which a lot of people clearly believe is real. I am not advocating for or against PETA, just pointing out much of what is said of them is BS.
I love this! Why don’t they(peta ) crash a marine barracks! !!!!
I’m a member of an MC as well and would have treated these rude party crashers in the same friendly manner. If you make them feel loved and welcome them with open minds, hearts and arms, they will be less likely to be rude the next time.
“In fact,” said the organizer, “motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it, ergo, they should stop.”
Nothing could demonstrate the mindset of PETA and other liberal groups better than this statement. We disagree with what you’re doing and therefore you should stop. It’s a free country as long as you think and say what PETA agrees with!
PETA needs to rethink their criteria for groups to protest against. They are lucky they didn’t get their heads caved in. Poor stupid bastards…
Well It’s a fake but what about the Baptist Group that is protesting at funerals of our men and women in our armed Forces lets start peeing on them and farting on their heads . We in the armed forces are willing to give our lives for our country if need be. Lets start working on the real problems with our own people
Actually, they are quite lucky. I have known some serious biker clubs that would inflict serious pain and injury on someone who would disrespect their “colors” by throwing red food colored water on them…
urban legend … never happened.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO………
Say it ain’t so.
While this story is fictional, we can only hope that life will eventually imitate art.
As for PETA, I suppose we could point out that it’s better to be pissed off than on…
OMGosh!!! ROFL!
That’s too funny!
WOW, like the saying goes, “Stupid SHOULD hurt!!”
Truth be told the bikers were pretty nice to them, it could have gone down a WHOLE lot worse!! At least they kept their sense of humor when they dealt with them!!!
Oh BTW, PETA, after doing this I feel compelled to tell you that you should NOT walk out in front of a moving train, AND you should NEVER put your head in an hungry lions mouth!!
I figured given what transpired, you may not have known these things either!!!
Just trying to help out!!
Have a nice day
DOC
BTW, I ride and I’m thinkin that the bikers you met were nicer to you then I would have been!!!! Go to the store, buy a dog and name it LIFE so you will have one!!!
And if you happen to be in southern NH and see a 6’4″ 350 lb biker on a huge loud Blue bike, DO NOT hit him with a balloon full of red colored water, trust me on that!!
Did you bother to read any of the dozen or more comments pointing out that the story is a fake, and never happened?
So you tell me, does stupid hurt?
No I obviously did not read all the comments, so who is stupid since you had to ask?? LOL
You tell me, does it hurt??
And I have seen enough PETA morons in action so that the story was not hard to believe!!
I have no doubt about my own stupidity, and no, it doesn’t hurt much.
Sorry for the overreaction, but there are so many people swallowing this whole that it’s going beyond the point of being silly. Yes, PETA needs a comeuppance, but a real one would be nice.
I should stop reading these before I pull out what’s left of my hair.
Yea , I’d stop pulling the hair out!! LOL
Merry Christmas and all that jazz!!
The story was quite obviously intended to make a point and invoke a response.
what is moronic is to have a spastic shit fit over weather or not it is “real”.
I am not a christian, nor do I believe in Santa Claus, but Merry Christmas ya’ll! !! 🙂
Please Entice Two-wheeled Anger
rofl this is hilarious!
Everybody knows not to mess with bikers and since they want to go crying over the bikers didn’t they assault the bikers by throwing stuff at them rather its a wster balloon or not. Where I come from assault is illegal and anyone who gets assaulted will fight back. To me they got what they wanted…………. ATTENTION
This statement is the EPITOME of the liberal twat mindset:
we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it, ergo, they should stop.”
WE DISAGREE – SO YOU SHOULD STOP
This is a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE !! LMAO, yes I know it happened almost a month ago & christmas is already over, but I don’t care. XD XD
You guys know that this is parody and is not actually true, right? Maybe not so much.
LMAO, when peta said something went terrible wrong!!!! Haaaaaaaa
nuthing went terribly worng, they got what they deserved for bein dicks haha
oh man…. thank you for sharing this story! True or not, it’s funny as hell. I’m still crying over that guy taped to the tree. Hahahaha…. Thought I was reading an article in the Onion.
That’s too funny, my poor girlfriend has had the flu for 7 days straight and this is the only thing she has laughed at in all that time. Secret handshake… frigging hilarious.
It’s true, that is our secret handshake. We only use it when confronted with PETA, and other idiots that get in our face.
People Eating Tasty Animals: Uncompassionate losers for animals since 1980
Reminder to self: Never assault a gang of bikers with balloons filled with red water. Check. For that matter, never assault a gang of anyone. You’re always outnumbered. Check. OK. I think I got this. Let’s ride.
BWA HAHA HAHAHAHA!!! IF, haha, the bikers did this, they handled it veryyyy well! Poetic Justice. LOL. Peta can certainly find a better place to ‘make a difference’ than to harrass bikers. LOL. Toooooo funny!
So, the PETA people, not having anything better to do, protested to the bikers about their use of leather and the bikers, after being assaulted with water balloons, appropriately protested the PETA people protesting.
Sounds about right to me.
P.S. And that guy duct taped to the tree had just better be glad they didn’t duct tape him upside down.
I can think of a couple government officials I’d like to see duct taped to a tree! I’ve been laughing for 20 minutes and can’t stop!
Only a couple???
I can think of 500+!!!!
agreed, only for me it’s all of them :p
Is it wrong to laugh hysterically at this :p PETA philes as I call them, just get on my nerves. How stupid is it to protest leather, when leather is a byproduct of beef used for food. What not wearing leather is going to stop the cows from being killed for food ? To me PETA is a nothing more than a bunch of people with way too much time on their hands and obviously clear heads, who like to go creating drama and sensationalism. So many people dying all over the world and starving to death and these idiots want to go around assaulting people with their stupid little waterblood balloons and harassing them and get away with it. Morons
BTW this is fake. Also I know that PETA acknowledge the fact that there are starving people in the world but also acknowledge the fact that us humans are causing misery to animals as well as people. There is no law stating that people can’t help animals. I don’t think leather is such a big crime personally but fur farms, poaching and pet abuse and so much more need to be dealt with because it’s us who are causing it. Thats what PETA do. Animal welfare and human welfare are both equally important.
Throwing balloons filled with coloured water (or watever it was), at people who are just out enjoying a rally is a rather tw#tish thing to do from any view point. tbf these guys should think themselfs lucky they didnt get their lights punched out. If you dont like eating meat or wearing animal skin/fur thats fine. but that doesnt give you the right to go and give abuse to people that like motorbikes. people should respect others interests, even if they dont share their views. its not like bikers go out of their way just to ruin hippy parties and try to force them into leather jackets!
Uh, guys, this is satire. LOL
I must admit I am a member of PETA. People Eating Tasty Animals. I bet the protesters voted for Obama.
Can’t read this without laughing. In fact, I laughed so hard I almost peed myself.
Duct tape . . . the single greatest invention of the 20th Century! That was a great use of it.
PETA= Please Excuse These Assholes
PETA,ddidnt your moms ever tell you to learn how to pick your battles??I thought it was very rude to interrupt their party.No one told anyone it was a water fight..til later..lol This brought tears to my eyes,I laughed so hard.Can you say Duct tape has now 1002 uses???lol
Lmao, PETA FOOLS. Good job bikers.
I only wish this were true, but it is a hoax unfortunately:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Too bad this is fake.
http://glossynews.com/society/201001070305/activists-missing-after-declaring-war-on-leather-at-motorcycle-rally/
^ That was debunked years ago.
The fact that these peta nuts who lack the most elementary knowledge of anthropology(as well as natural internal testosterone production) would confront bikers is hilarious… What the bikers (who could have easily hurt any one of them or worse) did rather than actual harm, was hilarious. duct-taped inside a dumpster. they’re cryin’ about it? Sounds like being initiated into a fraternity! They should count their blessings that the omnivorous diet practiced by the bikers had them so calm that they could retaliate with harmless humor rather than something more “Altamont speedway-like”.
I ride a 97 Harley Davidson Roadking and I am a Vegetarian. I love my bike and I also wear LEATHER. YES you read that right, I am a vegetarian biker who wears leather. WHY because I am not vegetarian for ethical reason its purely health reasons. Don’t get me wrong I would love to chow down on a nice greasy burger but my belly just can’t handle it anymore. I do eat eggs and cheese mind you and will continue until my body can’t eat those either. Thanks for posting this.
Keep it between the ditches and ride on my brothers and sisters.
Hate to be the one to spoil this for everyone, original story is from “the spoof” from 2010.
http://www.thespoof.com/news/us/66233/three-reported-missing-after-animal-rights-activists-take-war-on-leather-to-motorcycle-gang-rally
Check out ‘bikers PETA’ at Snopes. Unfortunately it’s true that the story is false. PETA should go after whatever Oriental restaurant sells fried live fish fr a meal. I saw this once on TV – can’t get it out of my head – it was GROSS.
Wow, lots of people with BS meters that aren’t working.
It’s funny, and would be even funnier if it were true, but it’s not.
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE HERE, I feel left out.
I ride a horse and I use leather all over my tack.. How come they have not shown me the love and respect they show everyone else, PETA is the ones who I believe are having a private club and therefore are racists against horse back riders…
I think I will sue PETA!!
Just saying…
You should eat less meat, it seems to make you stupid.
The article is a hoax.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Funny thing, most ‘leather’ on a bike is vinyl.
Oh for the love of…
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Some of you are entirely too gullible.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Welcome to a satire article. 🙂
I am from the Johnstown ,Pa area I grew up there before moving. I would of lovedddddddd to see that idiot taped to that tree. What right do they have telling anyone what they can eat or wear… Oh and did I mention I am part of the People Eating Tasty Animals ! Ride on My Brothers and Sisters even if I don’t ride a bike, I ride in spirit !
Lori lets get married…….. love the tude!!!
“… we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it, ergo, they should stop.”
Oh, but of course! Just because they disagree with something, the rest of us should just stop doing it.
Since I read the story at this link: http://www.thisistrue.com/peta.html
I have never liked that organization.
So, please excuse me while I re-read this have another good laugh.
Lucky the bikers let them out alive. Seriously. PETA has to get their heads out of their proverbial nether-regions. PETA ‘LEADERSHIP’: Putting these volunteers lives in danger was the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard you do. Did anyone think this through? If you did you risked these kids lives. Seriously – what if one of these volunteers got stabbed? Do you think other bikers would rush to help these ‘activists’? Your organizing ‘skills’ are highly suspect because you threw these lambs into a den of wolves. What did you think would happen? You might as well go pull on the tail of a tiger and tell it you’re a good guy and that you get a pass. See how long before the tiger mauls you. These kids are lucky. Stupid but lucky.
Lmfao, wow really? This is Giesel library walk in La Jolla, California at UC- San Diego. Pretty good made up story to go along with a picture from my Alma Mater.

This is what happens when worlds collide. Mixing SISSIES with MEN never turns out well for the SISSIES
Boy, this one really came back to haunt me. You people are clogging up my e-mail box.
SATIRE, SATIRE, SATIRE, SATIRE, SATIRE, SATIRE, SATIRE, SATIRE.
And again, SATIRE!
Are we there yet???
Don’t think they are…too busy trying to slip that always hilarious People Eating Tasty Animals phrase into their replies. *eyes rolling*
LOL gives new meaning to a “tree hugger”
Hey PETA are ya making your rounds at the car dealerships, because they sell cars that have leather seats?
LMFAO … OMG I can’t stop laughing !!! French latrine, Meat … Sounds like a party to me !! Funny thing is that PETA kills more animals, than anyone or anything else !
its NOT TRUE. its a hoax.
What is a hoax? The Biker story (which I found out IS a hoax) or that PETA kills more animals then anyone.
The biker story. I just ignore anything to do with PETA.
P-People For
E-Eating
T-Tasty
A-Animals
It’s been stated. You’re not original.
all i can do is laugh my @$$ off. they got what they deserved.
its a hoax.
I am a vegetarian and an animal rights activist and I cant fu##ing stop laughing! perhaps i should add “dick” to that list but this is some funny shit that could have been much much worse.I was raised by convicts and bikers and from my experience this group showed restraint and i commend them for not hurting anyone….forcing them to eat meat was a bit much ,as a vegetarian I would have opted for the farts….lmao
GOD BLESS THE BIKER CLANS ONE AND ALL…THE LAST TRUE BREED OF FREEDOM IN OUR COUNTRY.
People Eating Tasty Animals. Oh, wait, it was the other PETA? Well now, that IS very funny indeed!!!!!!
My silly brother bikers, don’t you know hanging fertilizer that far up a tree can injure the tree?
I laughed so hard I cryed!
Some Day The Mental Midgets From PETA well Realize The Main Stream Americans and those with A grip on Reality and Enjoy Living Life in a Free and Secure Nation could Not care Less about the feelings of the Lunatic fringe of Society… And Now They Know They Should Stay out of the way of the Real Americans…
To PETA I Say: … Stay out of our way, go Home Drink your Kool-Aid and Cry in your Soy Milk… You are Part of the Problem Not the Solution…
Have a Nice day… Move out and draw Fire…
Great story, but not true…wish it were.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Vegetarians kill billions of plants every day. Stop this senseless slaughter now!!!
Fake story. Poorly written.
True or not, I still think it is clever and great entertainment. Can’t wait to go head to head with a PITA POS and try out some new ideas.
Spoken like a true internet tough guy. In reality you wouldn’t come within 10 yards of a PETA member, much less “try out some new ideas” – what does that even mean?
Whooptydoo. I try not to get within 10 yards of skunks, hare krishnas, 911 troofers, either.
And there are lots of “new” ideas I’m smart enough not to try.
they should have shited on your heads
there just peta shits,they got nothing better to do but be shit disturbures they deserve to be farted on haha
whats really funny is they showed up in a vw. if you look inside cars made by vw (porshe, audi, vw, lamborgini, bugahtti, and bently) they are top to bottom leather
Tell me where to find these Bikers! I’d like to buy them all a round of beer! Congratulations.
Well farting on their heads ….how fkn CHILDISH..When I fart on their heads it is ALWAYS WET .. ROTFLMAO What a $hitty thing to say….LOL
I am an animal activist and a volunteer for a rescue organization for dogs. I’m currently fostering 3 dogs. But I do NOT approve of PETA or their shenanigans. I just about rolled on the floor laughing at this article.
I simply dont understand what theyre problem with leather is now. Leather is the skin of the cow, and it is a product recovered after its butcher. And cows are butchered for its meat, the skin comes off after that. Im not aware of any requests for the hide, and chuck the meat, that would be a waste.
What a bunch of effing douchebags. I hope PETA burns in hell.
The pita vs biker thing is a hoax, not that I don’t think it’s well writ. Check snopes: http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
THIS is urban legend! It’s just not true, and that picture is from a completely different incident that didn’t even involve PETA as far as I know.
I was laughing so hard it literally took 20 minutes to read the entire thing. Damn bikers…shame on them, picking on those people from PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals).
This is so hilarious, I’m going to spell it out. “ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING MY IRISH A&& OFF!!!” The prissy little babys ought to thank God that the biker’s didn’t tie them to the back of their bikes and drag them down a gravel road. My hat is off to the bikers for keeping their composure and just giving the spoiled little children the spanking they deserved.
Sorry Guys, PETA Biker story Totally false.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Was published as a satire in 2010.
Re security question. You think computers can’t do simple math?
It Depends are the computers government owed. We all know how good their math is.
Well, they wouldn’t want them using plastic for their seats or jackets either – it’s made from oil (heavens!!!) If they’d stop and think about it leather is a renewable resource – and it lasts much longer than plastic, which they don’t like either.
once more liberal wimps show that they are bullies, because they have no problem attacking and destroying the property of those that can’t and wont defend themselves.
Wonder if Peta ever goes to an abortion clinic and gets so worked up over the murder of unborn babies.
But to the bikers, I love when you welcome them with the secret handshake and make sure that they are treated just like everyone else in your group.
Wish I were there, love burgers and leather.
Once more…you do realize the story is a hoax, right?
Now how many ducks did you say it takes to make duck tape? I will be laughing all night after reading this article! Love it!
I don’t see the issue, PETA folks should be happy to be pee’d on, its organic…
Fake story, but a good laugh. Thanks for posting.
A funny story, but is anyone really stupid enough to believe this.
Unfortunately the answer is yes.
I think the bikers were just confused – the guy did say he was from PEE-ta. They were just trying to help out!
Also, if you can’t accept the environmental impact of modern life, go live in the same manner as someone from several thousand years ago. Leave your benefits also – no electricity, health care, convenient food, social safety net…
People want to take wind turbines down because birds are stupid enough to fly around them and kill themselves… It’s like saying “Oh that guy fell out of a window and died! We cant have anymore windows because they are obviously DEADLY”
Sometimes when a story seems to good to be true IT IS.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Snopes says the report is false. I hope this site is satirical because if it isn’t they should really learn to do minimal fact checking.
Had you done minimal comment checking, you would know that’s already been well established.
Yet a number of rubes continue to post their belief in it.
Yes, it is a shame what people do to animals. They are living creatures and feel pain just like we do.
Leather seats? How about going after guys with leather seats in their Lexus or Hummers? How about going after anybody wearing sneakers that are made of leather? PETA just proved here what a bunch of dolts they really are and got what they deserved 100%. Hooray for the bikers.
Did Syria make it into this thread yet?
Thanks to all of you for providing me with side splitting laughter along with many moments of pondering whether people really ARE that stupid. Yes, this has been reported to be a hoax…but the giggle fits I am still experiencing are greatly appreciated 🙂
Oh…and keep the rubber side down!!!
Help – I can’t stop laughing!
This is the funniest thing I’ve read in weeks!!! There’s a laugh in every line! What did those tofu eating PETA woosies THINK would happen? I agree with the bikers. PETA was being rude and offensive and, frankly, given how bikers protect themselves and their own, those soy milk drinking dudetts should be grateful they are ALIVE! Man, I wish I’d been there to see it!!!! GO BIKERS!
I wish you’d been there too. In fantasyland.
Have you realized the story is a hoax yet?
You drink baby juice from a cows t!t. Your so hardcore.
Funny story maybe if were true, however it’s not……

As for wind farms, as a conservationist I have a neutral stance. If properly sited away from migration routes bird impact is minimal. Most losses in the USA are from older sites I believe. There are far more losses from cars power lines and buildings, but no one is shouting for their discontinued use or research,. Personally, mainly because of the controversy they cause I would like to research other forms of renewables. For instance, if every new building had to have a solar panel roofs, they would soon become cheaper, more aesthetically pleasing etc as mass production would encourage R&D and investment. I also recently saw a article about using kites rather than turbines to harness wind power. I say this as I think the subject is too important to dismiss. Even if you forget about about the pollution from fossil fuels, the truth is, if we do not find reliable alternatives we will shortly ( in geological terms ) run out. With the increase of demand in China, Africa and other developing countries we will find HUGE increases in prices and possible power shortages and even power outages. The planet IS NOT a bottomless pit ( or mine ) of resources.
It maybe we need to develop ALL alternative power sources just to maintain our current life styles. It is up to us to ensure our descendants have a sustainable future in a world rich in bio diversity and not use up every available resource and leave future generation little or nothing.
I disagree with equating windmill kills to automobile (for example) kills.
I first became interested on bird kills when I visited the huge antenna tower at Walnut Grove (on-line says it was built in 2000–I’m sure I was there in the 1960s) and saw (at night) deadbirds falling all around it–my guess is that most had collided with the guy wires
But the thing is, you can make an argument that cars, trucks, buildings, and such all have a purpose of good and usefulness to humans. Windmills do not. Huge solar panels (that birds mistake for bodies of water) do not.
As far as I am concerned, if you threw water balloons at me Im pretty sure that is assault. How are you gonna assault some bikers and expect them not to retaliate?
LMAO! Activists… hmph! I wear leather when I ride too. Leather chaps, Leather jacket, leather gloves, sitting on my emu covered seat, carrying my things in my leather saddlebags. with my hands wrapped around my alligator grips. My .45 in my leather holster, my money in my leather wallet, and my spare magazines in my… you guessed it, leather mag pouch, attached to my leather belt. Must have a knife to carve up all that leather, and guess what, I keep it in a leather sheath also on my belt. Kiss my A$$. You don’t like it. Good.
WHERE IS “CITIZENS AGAINST PETA”?? I WANT TO JOIN THAT..I CANT STAND THESE LIBERAL WELFARE HANDOUT SKANKY TREE HUGGING MORONS…..SHIP EM ALL TO CHINA!
PS… IALWAYS THOUGHT IT STOOD FOR ….P-PEOPLE
E-EATING
T-TASTY
A-ANIMALS!!
BTW this is fake, and tell me what is so wrong about wanting to give animals rights? Is it a bad thing? Why is it a bad thing? Do you enjoy the fact that animals are abused by people all the time?
Oh and we wouldn’t be here without trees. They make something called oxygen.
As a lifelong conservative, who religiously sends a letter to PETA every year asking why their HQs is on prime real estate/waterfront property in VA, instead of more modest digs where their expenses would be minimal – and thus more of the donations they raise would actually be put to use to save animals…. I can’t say that I applaud this photo, what was done to this man, or even remotely support those who did this. Is this what we stand for? The humiliation of a person who was, for all intents and purposes, standing up for something he believes in? My husband has served in the army for nearly 3 decades. He serves so that our freedom to speak our mind and have an opinion is protected. What would have been more effective would have been to kill this activist with KINDNESS… Jesus would not have done this to another human being. I find this appalling and I’m ashamed that those who did this call themselves conservatives. This is NOT helping the cause, nor is it giving any legitimacy to what conservatives believe in. THIS is what one would expect from the OTHER side. Very disappointing and disturbing.
I’m a member of PETA but I don’t condone behaviour like the extreme activists do. We’re not all like this.
Ummmm guys? I hate to spoil your PETA hatefest (don’t worry I can’t stand ’em either) but … http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp You fell for it!! 😉 Seriously, PETA people would never do this.. they’d be too scared. They usually only throw paint at rich women who will stand there looking shocked long enough for them to run away. Not to mention the whole ‘outnumbered by bikers thing’! That’s one even they can grasp.
Don’t worry everyone. This is completely fake. This picture was taken outside of Geisel Library at the University of California San Diego (I work and study in there every day). This is not what was taking place when this guy was duct-taped to the tree. He was put there by his own people who were protesting something on campus. So don’t go hating on bikers or PETA, they were not involved in this picture. I’m pretty sure this had something to do with tuition increases, since that’s usually the biggest problem on our campus.
Give the man a kewpie doll. Yes, I did post this, but not on the site where all these comments are coming from. I posted it on From The Trenches World Report. com, THE best truther site on the net.
I can’t believe how many of these people haven’t figured out this is a satire. RLMAO!!!
You do realize that this is a made up story right? God people are gullible.
Let me ask these few simple questions? Number 1: When did the US change the laws? What I mean is, where does it say in any law book, anywhere, what any one person can wear, eat, smell, feel, touch, taste, hear, see, dream, choose or live. I thought the US was the land of freedom, everyone makes their own choices of everyday life. Second question, who gives anyone the right to say what they can wear, eat, smell, feel, touch, taste, hear, see, dream, choose or live? Please can anyone answer these questions for me.
It’s more the question, Is it right? Is it right to lets say for example wear a coat that was made from a fox that was skinned alive after spending it’s life in small dirty cage. Animals deserve freedom just as much as people. I don’t know but would you like to be in the position of that fox.
LMAO that there is funny shit I have not laughed so hard in a long time don’t they have a brain in any of them really they don’t know you don’t mess with bikers not even one all by him/hers self. thanks again for the laugh peta you have proven my point that you have no brain
You do realize this was a satire/spoof article.. I hope y’all didn’t believe it to be true…
http://www.thespoof.com/news/us/66233/three-reported-missing-after-animal-rights-activists-take-war-on-leather-to-motorcycle-gang-rally
Her is the updated spoof with the picture of the guy that’s duct taped to a tree..

There are sooooo many problems in the world and these people chose to deal with a problem involving animal cruelty. Those of you who buy mink coats or eat burgers from factory farms and so on, you are only adding problems to the world. Why don’t you change and maybe try help making the world a better place in your own way. (it doesn’t necessarily have to be animal rights related) Just get off there backs and realise that mankind does make life hell for a lot of animals and these protesters are trying to change that. It’s not a bad thing.
per Snoops this is not a true event… but it IS amusing!~
Cows produce more green house gasses that all the cars, bikes and powerstations put together.
Eating cows helps reduce the amount of green house gas released, and bikers are doing their bit by taking the waste hides and recycling them into seats and clothing to save their skin in the event of an accident.
Eat more cows and save the planet.
I have not laughed this hard at a news clip in a long long time! I only regret not being there! Haaaaaa now I hope to God that some muslims would try the same bullshit so they could get just as warm a welcome as these greasy petapooptards received! Oh wow! I am laughing! Bwaaaaa haaaaa haaa!!!
Hey Big Steve, just imagine how hard you’ll laugh when you realize this was a joke story. If it’s anything like how hard I am laughing at you, you might need to be sitting down.
Ya know, I’m all for the proper treatment of animals… Ya know, Fed healthy, And properly butchered. But ya know, if you’re going to kill an animal Use all of it, it shows proper respect to the animal and helps makes our lives better… Peta needs to just accept that without animal deaths and some abuse (Sorry) We wouldn’t be where we are today. Everything they enjoy at one point stemmed from this… Get over it good lord.
as a 27 year veteran of law enforcement, my hat is off to the copper that investigated this call, and didn’t piss his pants laughing!!!
More hyperbole http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
just saying…
I can’t say that I agree with the bikers doing what they did – the actual urinating and expressing wind onto the PETA protestors – but these “do gooders” cause more havoc and more disruption than anything else, they want the world to stop eating meat and using leather, but do they have a solution for something else to take its place No! We have teeth for a reason, we are by nature carnivores – it should be the choice of the person – if someone wants to eat meat that is fine, if someone wants to live on veggies that is fine, if someone wants to shave their head and wear weird clothes that is fine, if someone wants to ride a bike and wear a leather jacket that is fine, we are all unique for a reason – to enjoy diversity and to enjoy the many pleasures, wonders and adventures life has to offer, if we all sat around wearing fig leaves and eating apples off a tree and not killing any animals we would be extremely boring and not very warm or well fed. I am tired of these protestors they think they are doing good but all the doing is annoying the majority of people
Hey Lynette,
You know what I’m tired of? Commenters that believe the story – even though it’s been reported over and over again that it is a hoax.
Hey dtm,
you know what I’m tired of? Commenters who continually berate others in a mean-spirited manner, and don’t even use the correct description of the article under discussion. You called me a tool in an earlier comment, and I gave you a pass on that one, something I rarely do when someone tries to clown me. But since you apparently enjoy putting others down for not realizing that this story is a SATIRE, NOT a HOAX, it’s about time someone schooled YOUR stupid @ss.
Idiot.
“hoax
[hohks] Show IPA
noun
1.
something intended to deceive or defraud: The Piltdown man was a scientific hoax.
verb (used with object)
2.
to deceive by a hoax; hoodwink.”
“sat·ire

noun
1.
the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
2.

Wow…really “schooled” my “stupid @ss” there, NWO…
Let’s try to help you out since you left out some definitions of Hoax:
Hoax:
1. A deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as truth. (Seems to fit here).
2. A humorous or malicious deception. (Again, fits here).
So quit trying to defend the retards that are gullible enough to believe this…And where did I call you a tool?
PETA does realize that most of the leather comes as a bi-product of animals killed for MEAT, no?
Yeah, I get they want to stop all killing of animals, but to protest leather is ridiculous because if the leather was not used, the animal would still die for its meat.
The cost of leather is primarily the cost of the processing.
Bottom line I’d say to PETA. Pick your battles. You’re not going to win them all and this one you lost.
Now that’s just funny right there! I don’t care who you are! Frickin’ idiots got everything they deserved….almost
Hell yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. Exactly what these PETA loons deserved. I’m with Hells Angels on this one.
I’d be inclined to be less civil to them if they threw crap on my leathers.
Wouldn’t not using the skin to make coats and motorcycle seats and footwear and book covers and any other useful thing be environmentally irresponsible? If it wasn’t used then it would be wasted. People are going to eat beef, and many other meats. To use every part of the animal is the most responsible thing they could do. Though I wouldn’t personally fight the fight, (as I see much greater things to fight against, like hunger and sex trafficking and terrorism) I do see that animal cruelty is wrong. Even protesting wearing fur I understand as the animal is probably treated poorly while being raised and/or the rest of the animal is wasted, though again, I see greater societal wrongs that I would fight for. But that is not what is happening in the use of leather. The bikers response may have been extreme and the law should have been called in to handle the problem, but at the risk of sounding like a schoolyard whiner I’m going to finish by saying, “they (the PETA protesters) started it, the bikers just finished it.”
I am aware now of it being a hoax, but is it really so far fetched? I’ve seen other satire stories that were truly beyond the pale ridiculous. This one actually got me because it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it had actually happened, I was not shocked by any part of the story to the point where I had to stop and think that maybe it’s not true, and I am a true skeptic of anything internet reported.
Why are no PETA supporters commenting on this article? While it isn’t a genuine report it is very believable. Why are no PETA nuts defending their position? This commentary would become more comical.
We all wish PETA would do something this stupid, but check it:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Yall know that this is a made up story? Because that picture of the man taped to a tree is taken at UCSD (my school) in San Diego, CA. Good try though.
If not mentioned in other posts, PETA complains about killing animals for fur and leather, they are not guilt-free. They kill many more animals (cats and dogs) in their so-called “animal rescue shelters”, many that are turned over for rescue are dead within an hour or less of being released to their “humane” care. They are murderers and liars, just too bad there is not enough “legal” power out there to convict them of their crimes.
So if PETA loves animals so much, do they protest against bestiality? It’s not killing anything …
Although this isnt real, I feel it easily could have been.
I was just reading on their site, and half of their stances dont make sense. In fact, a few of them even decrease the chances of animals surviving- they dont care about the species at all, they aren’t environmentalists, the only bloody thing they care about is making sure that the animals are paradoxically not captured or released as they view both as inhumane. Which brings up the question, what exactly would they do with a species that was dying off? as far as I can see, nothing. Literally nothing. Just look up their stance on wildlife repopulation programs.
They aren’t environmentalists, their just a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites who seem to think that ‘psychological trauma’ is worse than, you know, death.
Sorry to burst your bubble, sheeple. This story is a spoof. It’s fake.
That is why it says “Satire” at the top of the article.
P.T. Barnum was right.
chuckle, chuckle 🙂
I love these bikers. The world needs to grow up and stop protesting everything from using paper clips to wearing leather. Maybe go protest the inequality of the economy instead of stupid shit like this.
/facepalm
hrmmm….
Does anyone remember when PETA was worried about animals and did NOT act like self righteous intrusive assholes?
If you want to intrude on bikers lifestyles then don’t get all pissy and moany because they act like bikers and treat you like shit. Remove head from ass and start worrying about ANIMALS again!
This incident is so f***ing stupid that I really don’t care about PETA anymore…….long time coming actually. /sigh
@ Steve Derby
/facepalm
hmmm…..
It was a hoax. Read above. There was no incident.
/sigh
P.E.T.A. People. Eating. Tasty. Animals.
rooster, they’re gonna love that one.
the media loves to make a non issue an issue and vice versa.
that’s their game and most of us fall for it. time to ignore them. they wanna be drama queens let them and watch their ratings plummet even worse than they already have. people, break your conditioning. life’s difficult enough without being bombarded day in day out of who were suppose to love or hate.
It
Was
A
Hoax
And People Eating Tasting Animals…wow, original. Never seen that one before…
I challenge any vegan to proving they are 100% animal free. You may think so, but if so, youre clueless as to the many processes…including vegan foods, that food goes through. Wear makeup? Ride or drive in a vehicle? Use electricity? Use a cell phone? Eat sugar? Wear rubber? Live in a home? Take medicine? Get vaccines? Walk in a garden? Pick veggis? This is a tiny list….Good luck..I do respect the ideas behind it…its just not going to happen.
It was a hoax….lighten up, Francis
I wish I had been there to see that!
this was the laugh i needed tonight lol….
to all those who think it’s real, it’s not…
to all those who know it’s not and keep informing everyone of that… enough already!!! you repeating yourself is just as bad as everyone one else repeating the same stupid crap…
it’s still comical relief in a not so comical world, lighten up.
Leathers are worn for more than just pretties. They provide warmth and protection from elements, cell pbone using car drivers, and road rash from the ground. The skin of a cow is being used yes. But so is the meat. It’s not being stuffed and hung on a wall. Or thrown away. Look at it this way PETA. Part of that cow will live on forever.
This is a fictitious story. Made up by someone with an over active imagination…..http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/leatherprotest.asp
Damn shame I can’t use one of these idiots to cover my bike seat. No, it probably doesn’t wear well anyway.
LOL!!!
Regardless of this story being true or not, this has to be one of the best reads ever!!!! I just can not stop laughing!!! I allow my mind’s eye to take over when I read things like this and I am ROTF laughing so hard imagining what the crowd was doing and saying as they were duct taping this guy to the tree and rolling two others up in duct tape and putting them in the fast food dumpsters!!! These Bikers did not hurt anyone, physically, although, I bet PETA will not show up at another Biker event without a proper invitation as they really do not have a good sense of humor!!! LOLL!! Now on a serious note: I have attended a few Biker parties and have been friendly with quite a few of them, both male and female and I have to tell you they are some of the nicest people I have ever met. The one thing about them is that they are real people and very loyal to each other and will be loyal to those who treat them with the respect they give to others. It’s a shame that a lot of people just do not understand that Bikers are human and they are entitled to respect, kindness, decency and again, respect – they are more human than a lot of those who pass judgment upon them and just like the rest of us, they hurt and bleed red when they get cut. I have known many, many Bikers who have given up their time during Christmas to put wreaths on the graves of those who are buried in the Military National Cemeteries and flags on the graves on Memorial Day and the 4th of July. These guys/gals will do events to collect money for those who are poor, who are sick, who are down on their luck, who have been abused, they are big teddy bears for the children who have been abused and for no-kill animal shelters. Bikers, whether they are weekend warriors or this is their lifestyle it’s a shame that A LOT of people judge these guys/gals by what they see on the outside and never take the time to get to know them from the inside out!!! I will always defend the Bikers and I know that they would be there for me if I was ever in a situation where I needed help. NEVER judge a book by its cover!!! Thumbs up to the Bikers!!!
