Craig Carton’s Cow Revenge on PETA Leads to the Ultimate Steak Debate

**Chris McMonigle** (0:01)
By the way, you keep swatting at...

**Craig Carton** (0:04)
Because I got fruit flies in there again.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:05)
Use the PETA approved fly catcher. It's right there. This thing? Yes.
You slide that bad boy open.

**Craig Carton** (0:13)
PETA approved.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:14)
Yes, that's the thing.

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
We can't repeat things about our...

**Chris McMonigle** (0:17)
You catch it in that, close it, and then you can release it freely somewhere else.

**Craig Carton** (0:21)
Release the fly where?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:21)
You can release that free fly, I don't know. Somewhere where it's not going to be on.

**Craig Carton** (0:24)
Is it just going to come back?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:26)
No.

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
This is why PETA's got too much money.
Right here. This is a fine example of PETA just being like... You don't want to hurt that fly. No, I do. I might have killed the damn thing because it's annoying me.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:36)
You catch it.

**Craig Carton** (0:37)
Who brought this in?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:37)
And then you release it. I don't know. But I saw it sitting there and it's PETA approved.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
It's a PETA approved...
I mean, and it's hard to close it real quick too. Those free flies are going to get away. Do you remember what happened when we did our meat giraffe back in the day?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:52)
Do you remember what PETA offered? They offered to buy the cow back, right? Or something like that? They did two things.

**Craig Carton** (0:56)
So back in the day...

**Chris McMonigle** (0:57)
We had the meat giraffe. What was the cow's name? Do you remember?

**Craig Carton** (0:59)
Oh shoot, I do.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
Was it Norm?

**Craig Carton** (1:02)
No, we named it after like a Met, didn't we? Like Mookie Wilson?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:06)
Oh, I think you're right. Was it something like that? Something like that, yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:08)
In any event, so PETA finds out, we were doing instead of like a mock NFL draft, we did a... I bought a cow.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:16)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:17)
I bought an entire cow. Me and Michael Prade, Prades and Farrels, we split it and we butchered it. Well, I didn't butcher, but we had it butchered. And then we... everyone got meat, right? So when PETA found out that we had bought a cow and we were going to eat the cow, they called me. They offered me two things. One, you're right.
They said to me, what would it take for us not to kill the cow? And I go, I'll tell you what, because I'm a sensitive fella, right? I go, here's what I'll do.
You repay me the cost of the cow and you can save Mookie's life and take him to any pasture you want and then we're good to go. But it costs like 1200 bucks. So if you want to repay me, we'll save Mookie's life. No problem. And the gal goes, but then you'll just kill another one. I go, probably, yeah.
But if you want to save this cow's life, I'm giving you that option. Like, put your money where your math is. Well, we don't do that. Okay, okay, so you know better than me. Because I'm giving you a chance to save Mookie's life. You're not interested in saving Mookie's life. And then they said to me, how about this? They countered, counteroffer. The counteroffer was, how much does the cow weigh? So it was ballpark, like 1,500 pounds in the area, whatever it is, right? So they said, you know, we have great alternatives to meet, especially around Thanksgiving.
Because I think this was November.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:44)
Tofu turkey.

**Craig Carton** (2:44)
I think this was November of 2020, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:46)
Was it? I don't think so.

**Craig Carton** (2:48)
It's either 2020 or 2021

**Chris McMonigle** (2:49)
I thought it was around the time of the NFL draft, if that was all I know, wasn't it? It probably makes more sense.

**Craig Carton** (2:53)
This was April of 21, all right? And they go, we'll give you 1500 pounds of vegetarian, whatever.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:04)
Tofu and turkey.

**Craig Carton** (3:05)
Stuff like that. And they're like, and trust us, it's delicious.
All right? So I had to make a decision. Did I want to trade my cow for 1500 pounds of non-meat products? Yeah. You know my answer to that. Yeah. No, thank you.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:23)
No, thank you.

**Craig Carton** (3:23)
But I offered them a chance to save the cow's life. They chose not to save the cow's life. That cow's blood is on PETA's hands.
