(Disclaimer: I fully support the protection of insects, invertebrates, and any other sentient being.  To discriminate against a roach, but not a mink is the same mentality as someone who loves their cat, but sees a pig as dinner.  However, some of the stuff in here is pretty damn funny!!)

 

 

Here is the Submission from Adam’s old group, as it appeared in “In the Trenches” from No Compromise issue 3:

 

 

Advocates for Forgotten Wildlife

 

Update:  Advocates for Forgotten Wildlife focuses on animals ignored by the Animal Rights movement, invertebrates and cold-blooded vertebrates.  We investigated the use of pesticides at a high school campus in preparation for a future campaign to ban pesticides in school buildings and on school grounds.

 

We’re involved in insect trap and transfer operations.  AFW (should stand for Adam Friggin’ Weissman because no one else in the world was a part of this “group.”) has spent countless hours patrolling the streets during and after rainstorms trapping worms that wash into the streets and walkways, preventing them from being run over stepped upon, dried out, or from drowning.  (Countless hours??  Does he live in a tropical rainforest or not know how to count?) 

 

Recent rescues have been trapping and transferring hundreds of flying insects from a glass-enclosed stairwell where they would have starved, and trapping and transferring hundred of ants from a water-filled garbage can where they were drowning. (Yeah right.  Adam was fishing his lunch out of the can, and there just happened to be hundred of ants on the sandwich he found.  Ironically, Adam accidentally ate several of the ants.)  We are currently researching the human impact upon dust mites and other sentient invertebrates too small to be see (Adam can’t even figure out how to organize a protest, yet he and his team of scientists have been doing neurological studies on microscopic organisms.  I wonder if his findings were ever published in a scientific journal), and scientific literature on sentience. (The sentence stops here)

 

This summer AFW will provide businesses, individuals, and families with information on humane, effective, environmentally sound alternatives to lethal forms of invertebrate “pest” control, and will expand our focuses to include rodents as well.  Literature is disseminated through door-to-door canvassing, (LOL!!  You thought Jehovah’s were bad!!  Picture this- You are sitting at home with your family when you hear a knock at your door.  You open it to find someone rummaging through your garbage with your lunch from last week in his right hand, and a broom in the other.  You think to yourself, “Poor Booger.  After “Revenge of the Nerds 3” flopped, Booger has become homeless and now must eat from garbage cans and go door-to-door panhandling.  He hasn’t bathed in months.”  You then realize that Booger’s butt never looked quite so big in the movies. Your husband runs to the door, “Oh my God!!  Baba Booey!!!  I love the Howard Stern Show!”  Adam takes the moldy sandwich from his mouth, “I am not Baba Booey.  I am Adam Weissman from the AFW.  Would you be interested in some literature on how dust mites are sentient beings?  It will totally change your life.  By reading this, you will end up being just like me- maybe you will even end up with a website about you!!!”  Oh boy!) scheduled with facility building directors, and through placement in libraries and institutions.

 

Email Adam, and ask him for some AFW literature today!

 

On a side note, I have started a new AR group.  We/I are called Justin for Animal Rights (JAR).  Here is our submission for the next issue on No Compromise:

 

JAR has been very busy lately.  Recently, our only member, Justin, was walking down the street and he saw an ant.  Rather than stepping on the ant, Justin decided to walk around the ant. 

 

On the very same day, Justin awoke to hear his cat meowing.  Quickly Justin ran to his biology laboratory and did some quick research.  He concluded that his cat was hungry and proceeded to feed his cat.  His cat purred soon thereafter. Justin formed a hypothesis that his cat was now happy.  He has been devoting all of his time lately researching if his hypothesis is correct.  All of Justin’s research will soon be available in the JAR literature which will be available soon.  Either send us an email for a copy, or wait for me to come knocking on your door.  (HINT:  Keeping a well stocked garbage can will get my to your door faster.)

 

Finally, JAR received an anonymous communiqué from the ALF on December 18th.   The ALF stated that they recently liberated 4 worms from the driveway of an animal abuser.  As they were about to spray paint “ALF” on the side of the house, they accidentally stepped on a praying mantis and quickly retreated.  The ALF vows to strike again as long as that family refuses to keep their driveway worm free. 

 

(The above ALF communiqué is entirely fictional)
