PETA, HSUS use Cheney shooting to advance anti-hunting agenda
What else would you expect? Amidst the media frenzy surrounding the Vice
President's hunting accident, PETA and the Humane Society of the United
States did not hesitate to exploit the incident to further their radical
agendas.
PETA's Ingrid Newkirk wrote a personal letter (distributed as a press
release) to Mr. Cheney, suggesting that he "put down [his] guns and
pick up a tennis racket instead," remarking that "the risks to
[Cheney's] fellow tennis participants would be minimal" and "it would be
good for his heart in more ways than one." To literally add insult to
injury, PETA held a demonstration yesterday outside the hospital where
Harry Whittington is receiving treatment for the injuries he suffered in
the accident.
But Wayne Pacelle, president of HSUS, was even faster than Newkirk in
picking up a pen. He sent a letter advising the Vice President "to
pursue a less violent form of relaxation and get on with the important
business of leading the country." That personal letter was also quick
to be distributed to the nations news media.
