Default I donated to PETA

PETA?
Oh, you surely mean "People Eating Tasty Animals", don't you?
Anyway, this is the way I address them in my "Fan mail".... :-))

Swiped from rec.hunting. Thought it was hilarious

My wife and I came in from turkey hunting the other morning, and while
the coffee was brewing she started sorting the junk out of the mail.
When she made a disgusted sound and dropped an envelope in the trash, I
glanced in and found it was from our good friends at the People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals. (We assume they got my wife's name from a
horse magazine she subscribes to.) Seems PETA wanted a donation.

As a dedicated sportsman, I am of course quite in favor of the ethical
treatment of animals, so I put together a very nice little donation and
filled PETA's 1st Class Postage-guaranteed return envelope about as full
as I could get it. My donation included: a photograph of me posing with
a nice whitetail buck I killed ethically with my bow; a bronze-colored
back-feather from the turkey my wife had ethically killed that very
morning; a recipe for the ethical grilling of venison backstrap; and
just in case someone at PETA wants to load their own ammo so they can
also treat an animal ethically themselves, a zip-lock baggie containing
about 3-4 oz. of lead #6 shot. Gosh, it sure feels good to contribute to
such a worthy cause.
