Y'know, that long-winded email could have just said:"We get a lot of animals. Yeah, we kill animals. Thanks for contacting us". Because that's all I got out of it. Other than "People are mean to us and make us look bad".
PETA isn’t really pro animal nearly as much as it is anti person.
PeTA has headquarters in Norfolk VA. A couple decades ago, they got into some serious hot water for euthanizing animals in Norfolk. The official stance was it was not sanctioned behavior of the employees that were caught. Unofficially... They knew it was happening.Across the small harbor from the PeTA office is the NOAA pier. I knew some guys at NOAA that revelled in having cookouts pierside when the wind blew just right. Yummy! Roasted-critters!
