Please excuse my ignorance on this, but could you detail some of the

success
they have had in MA? Other than throwing red dye on fur coats, and

getting
the film industry to add the stupid disclaimer that no animals were

harmed
during the shooting of this movie, I wasn't aware of any big

successes they
have had (but I am probably just not in touch with what they are

doing).
Mostly my opinion is that PETA is simply a PITA bunch of veggies

that
occasionally file a meritless but sensational lawsuit to get their

name in
the news - kind of like the ACLU for animals. (That ought to get a

rise).

Unless you've got a long standing habit of inhaling petroleum
products, being stupid is probably not something you accomplished on
your own. That is to say, you were almost certainly born that way.
This being the case, it is difficult to understand why you consider it
a source of pride. Perhaps you could shed some light on this puzzle?

Perhaps "ridiculous" would have been a more appropriate word choice. Then
again, if it makes the PETA folks happy, so be it. I am seldom in the
theatre long enough to see that part of the credits anyway.
