Dear Editor,
In the column by Randi Brockman in the Nov. 21 issue she compares animals raised domestically for food with pets.
“But did you know turkeys aren’t that different from their fluffier counterparts? Oh yes, turkeys are much more like companion animals than most people would like to believe. Most ‘meat’ animals are,” the column said.
I wonder where she got that idea?
Oh wait. I already know the answer.
She got it from the terrorist group PETA who claims to stand up for the “rights” of animals.How do I know this? Well because PETA has come out with some very charming pamphlets that they hand out to schoolchildren featuring pictures of parents killing animals.
The first came out in 1993 and was handed out at performances of The Nutcracker Ballet. The charming cover of this pamphlet shows a June Cleaver-looking mother holding a butcher knife over a white bunny rabbit and blood spurting everywhere.
The second pamphlet is about fathers who fish and warns children not to let their Daddy who fish near their pets. This cover shows an Andy Griffith-like dad dressed in fishing gear slaughtering a fish – again with blood spurting everywhere.
And they call meat-eaters grotesque.
