PETA and the Palestinians It’s about time the terror-mongering Yasser Arafat heard from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. But who would have thought it would be in this manner? It seems that a letter was dispatched recently from PETA to Yasser. The PETA folks were upset because of a Jan. 26 bombing that took place in Jerusalem. Were they disturbed by the death and destruction that terrorism of this type causes? Well, sort of. Apparently, a donkey died. PETA prez Ingrid Newkirk wrote the letter that was faxed to Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah. So reports the Washington Post. “Your Excellency, we have received many calls and letters from people shocked at the bombing…All nations behave abominably in many ways when they are fighting their enemies, and animals are always caught in the crossfire. The U.S. Army abandoned thousands of loyal service dogs in Vietnam. Al-Qaeda and the British government have both used animals in hideously cruel biological weaponry tests. We watched on television as stray cats in your own compound fled as best they could from the Israeli bulldozers … If you have the opportunity, will you please add to your burdens my request that you appeal to all those who listen to you to leave the animals out of this conflict?” When Newkirk was asked why she didn’t try to get Arafat to quit blowing up innocent civilians, women and kids, she responded, “It's not my business to inject myself into human wars.” The Left Coast Report wonders how PETA can poke its nose into every other freakin’ aspect of our lives – our food, clothing, medicine and hobbies – but when it comes to homicidal maniacs killing innocent people, it’s none of the group’s business?
