Looks like she means to say "speciesist" not racist. But she probably realizes that most people would just laugh at that term.

I thought this while reading the article, and said it aloud when I saw her picture.

What crazy thinking.

I was reading and thinking along these lines: "Here son, check out this animal... whoops, sorry, we don't have that one in our life. How about this one? Nope, not this one either. Oh, I guess we won't discuss any animals because we have no pets and you have not been to a zoo yet. Therefore, learning about any animals is pointless at this time of your life."

How did we ever grow up in our world of the coyote and roadrunner, Magilla Gorilla, Grape Ape, Sylvester and Tweety, etc.?
I know I never once thought that real animals could talk or wear clothes. I thought that everyone figured this one out quickly.

That was rich! Usually, when I read some of these thread titles on CD, it turns out there's more to the story. But this lady is nuts! Plus, she needs to eat a little more!

I could convince her to stop eating plants as I can hear them screaming.

She'd get even skinnier.
