1633...PETA, The Grits And Mindelle Jacobs

The Sun papers, Kingston Whig-Standard etc. ran an signed editorial today by Mindelle Jacobs about the Honourable Gail Shea's PETA pieing yesterday and neither of them come out well in her piece.

She opens with a strong statement: "It's hard to know who to scold first; PETA for pieing Fisheries Minister Gail Shea or Newfoundland Grit MP Gerry Byrne for suggesting it was an act of terrorism?"

She goes on to point out that the thrust of PETA's modus operandi is to publicize PETA and, coz baby seals are cute and the people who hunt them are not, they are an easy target.

"The prank simply cemented PETA's reputation as an organization blinded by self-righteousness."

Miss Jacobs goes on to write that "Suggesting that the federal government investigate this pieing incident as possible terrorism is the loopiest thing an MP has said in a long time.

Politicians and PETA should know that passion without reason falls flat with the public. Just like that tofu pie."
