[nagdu] The Response I received from PETA

[Marion & Martin]

Chasity,
    I'm not sure if it is even worth your time. It seems obvious that PETA 
has their own irrational, unsubstantiated, radical agenda and no amount of 
rational, factual information will serve to create any modicum of 
intelligence. I thought of - and even began - writing a response to PETA, 
but reconsidered when I came to the realization that they have no interest 
in facts, as they are not part of their ethics.

>> Angie,
>>    What is most illustrative of PETA's ignorance is that they don't
