Kill the humans, spare the animals

You have to love the crazies over a PETA:

An international animal rights group called on Sri Lanka's separatist Tamil Tigers to "leave animals out" of the armed conflict, two weeks after a grenade attack blamed on rebels at the island's main zoo.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, said in a letter dated Feb. 15 to Velupillai Prabhakaran, the reclusive rebel leader, that "the explosive device that was set off near the zoo's bird enclosures terrified many animals at the zoo."

PETA president Ingrid E. Newkirk pleaded with the rebel leader "to leave animals out of this conflict," the letter said.

This should come as no surprise. Ingrid Newkirk once sent a letter to Yasser Arafat protest the use of a donkey in a suicide bombing.

The stupid, it burns.

However, you will never get PETA to own up to its dirty little secret.
