Pro-union protesters support animal abuse!

February 22, 2011

At least, that’s how it looks to me, and I’m totally objective.

Adding to the tragi-comic feel of the day, a camel showed up during Monday’s protests and then fell on an ice and slush-covered street near the Capitol square.

The camel was brought by the comedy news program The Daily Show, which is preparing a report on the demonstrations against Gov. Scott Walker’s budget bill. Demonstrators have repeatedly compared the events in Wisconsin in recent days to the pro-democracy movement in Egypt, providing an opening for satirists.

Video of the whole sorry affair:

Geez, that poor camel. No, seriously. Even an evil right-winger like me feels bad. And what does that tell you?

I wonder how camels handle the cold? Did it have anything on its hooves?

UPDATE – Joe Camel files suit!

    Awful. What is wrong with these people?

    Isn’t it more objective to say that The Daily Show supports animal abuse, rather than pro-union demonstrators, dude? I don’t even know that that is accurate; I doubt that it is. But you know what I’m saying.
