When Enlightened People Do Stupid Things

Heard this story on the news. There was a group of Buddhist monks–vegans I must point out–that went to New York City in Chinatown and bought a few hundred dollars worth of live eels and turtles that are sold to restaurants for food. They then went as a grooup to release them into the wild. Okay, if they are radical vegans sounds like a good plan. Just one hitch. Where did they release the animals? The Pasaic River in New Jersey. Jersey! In one of the more rancid rivers in the state. Totally defeats the purpose if the animals they tried to release are DEAD! It really defeats the purpose if THEY kill the animals they’re trying to release.

The news reports say there is no evidence of the animals anywhere in the river. Of course not! I’m surprised the animals weren’t bubbling up the moment they entered the river!
