Flanders and Swann, 50-some years ago (audio link):
If the juju had meant us not to eat people, he wouldn't have made us of meat.
Sarah Palin, apparently quite recently:
Emphasis mine. Ok, we're missing some context here, and I'm willing to concede the possibility that Palin was joking. However, given her support for barbaric hunting practices, I also think it's entirely plausible that she actually believes that animals were placed on Earth simply for us to devour. Here's a bit of "bonus" Palin (link is to the same article as above):
Full Disclosure: I am not a vegetarian. That said, I don't revel in the fact of my meat-eating; I eat meat because I enjoy the taste of it, not because I think I have any divine right or duty to do so. And I occasionally feel guilty about it, although that and $2.26 will get you an extra-large coffee at Starbucks.

Aie.
I have a significant issue with a woman who will both shoot wolves out of an airplane and talk about the marvels of the Alaskan landscape.
She's a tool.
as you say...what price irony?
It's Venti, not 'extra-large'. Barbarian.
I refuse, refuse, to refer to it as a "Venti," unless I'm actually ordering it from someone who speaks Italian! It's a matter of principle, you know...
Although I do agree with you about the "barbarian" bit! :)
@Chorus: I agree with you, especially since as governor she would have decorated the majestic Alaskan wilderness with oil derricks from horizon to horizon given even half a chance!
