Every year, the JMU College Republicans hold our Animal Rights Barbecue. Inevitably, some group of activists with a bad case of the warm fuzzies tries to spoil the event with their juvenile tactics. We get hateful e-mails, darts in The Breeze and two years ago, some lovely person left us the gift of a dead beaver on the grill at the UREC volleyball court.
Being confused as to why a group of animal-rights activists would leave a dead animal on our grill, we proceeded with our fun.
This year we want to be sure the JMU community is aware of our event. In the interest of fairness, we will disclose the location publicly.
The barbecue will be held Sept. 24 at the Lakeside Courtyard from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and all omnivores are welcomed to attend.
Oh, and we don’t hate kittens.

JMU College Republicans Social Chairman
