Default Anyone else get this?

A while ago, I signed the petition to revoke PETA's tax exempt status. Today, I got this in my email.

NEWS FLASH: PETA KILLS ANIMALS!

Since you are one of the 63,000 Americans who visited www.PETApetition.com and signed our online petition (encouraging the IRS to revoke PETA's federal tax-exemption), you already understand the hidden threat that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and its $25 million annual budget pose to the American way of life.

If PETA were ever to reach its goal and impose "total animal liberation" on the rest of us, meat and dairy foods would become things of the past. The same goes for zoos, aquariums, rodeos, circuses, hunting, fishing, leather, wool, silk, and even lifesaving medical research that requires the use of lab rats.

Now PETA's scandalous story has become even more disturbing. We've discovered that since 1998, PETA has actually "liberated" over 10,000 dogs and cats -- from life itself. PETA killed these animals at its Virginia headquarters, rather than spending a portion of its enormous bankroll actually caring for them.

You can find the shocking details at a new website, www.PetaKillsAnimals.com. In order to spread the word about PETA's stunning hypocrisy, we unveiled a giant billboard today in New York City's famed Times Square. But please do your part by forwarding this e-mail to everyone in your address book.

PETA kills animals -- and they dare lecture the rest of us! For more breaking news about PETA, bookmark www.ConsumerFreedom.com and visit us there regularly.

Sincerely,
David Martosko
Director of Research
The Center for Consumer Freedom

Anybody else get this?

Actually i did get something in the mail the other day but threw it away when i saw the word 'PETA'. Everyone in my 'hood' knows that i hunt and i think there is someone who is anti-hunting that lives down the street from me. She or her husband have never talked to me nor me with them so I doubt they had something to do with it. Was probably just conidonance (can't spell it, sorry)

Nice to see there is a movement standing up to them, though I doubt it is necessary. They do more harm to themselves than good with every public statement and billboard...
