----------

I read this quote by Ronnie Lee from Eternal Treblinka by Charles Patterson and it got me thinking:
"We have been at war with the other creatures of this earth ever since the first human hunter set forth with spear into the primeval forest.

All around us lie the slave camps we have built for our fellow creatures, factory farms and vivisection laboratories, ...

This PETA press release is truly disgusting. If there was anyone left wondering whether or not PETA was an actual animal rights organization, this should confirm they are not.
