Default Petition To Rescind PETA's Tax-Exempt Status



--

I live in a land settled by people who hunted redskins and owned ******s.


Whether you accept the theory of a Bering Land Bridge or not, I am rather
certain that the "Native Americans" that first settled most of North America
were often (though not universally) involved in tribal conflicts which
resulted in the loss of life, I rather doubt that they owned "******s" as
you put it. For more information on the Bering Land Bridge,

I live in a land settled by people who collected bounties on wolves,

coyotes,
every kind of weasel, eagles and all other raptors, snakes, and numerous
other competitors who interfered with their rapine.


I rather doubt that they collected bounties of any sort on animals, but am
willing to concede the point if you can direct me toward appropriate
documentation.

I live in a land settled by people who considered every acre clear cut or

burned to the
ground a tribute to a beneficent and omniscient god.


I also doubt that clear cutting or burning was a wide spread practice..

I live in a land with a growing population hell-bent now upon preventing

such practices.

And it's a good thing too!

Good luck with the brain damage.


Mighty kind of you.

Just wondering, is it possible you were thinking of European settlers?
