Browsing: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

I am writing in response to your April 11 editorial “Hypocrisy of PETA Gets Our Goat.” We’re grateful for the opportunity that this editorial—despite its deceptive intent—gives us to discuss the animal-overpopulation crisis. We’re on the front lines in the battle to help unwanted dogs and cats, and we need your readers’ help.

Hypocrisy is something that rubs people the wrong way.

Currently standing atop the hypocritical power rankings is the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, more commonly known as PETA.

I love this country. I love the ideals it was founded on. And I’m sure you can hear the inevitable “but…” in this introduction because you’re American, and you can read between the lines. So I’m going to level with you right now because there are things that must be said. For the past year I’ve been noticing small problems in our society — inescapable issues that have slowly built up a dam of unease in my brain about the future of our country. I’m talking about the complete lack of integrity or accountability a good percentage of America’s population seems to entertain.
