People For The Ethical Treatment of animals takes a stand in the war on terror:
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - 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.
Killing humans, though ? Perfectly fine apparently.
There was no immediate comment from rebels to the PETA’s letter.
Most likely because they haven’t stopping rolling on the floor laughing.

Oh. My. God.
Although I am shocked at the audacity of these people, why does this not surprise me that PETA would do something like this?
