Why don't YOU learn more before YOU throw stones. Something makes me think you'd never like anything PETA does.. Hey Deborah,

I take it PETA’s donation of $760,000 in recent years to the development and implementation of non-animal test methods isn’t enough for you? Why don’t YOU learn more before YOU throw stones. Something makes me think you’d never like anything PETA does..

It's easy to take out ads and throw stones or spray paint people's clothing or kill puppies that they say they are "saving." It'd be a lot more constructive if they actually used these funds to help humanity.

They should've gone with a headline like: "Abu Ghraib. Blackwater. Whatever. This man tortures cute little puppies."

This poor man is hated by consumers, by congress, by pharma, and now by PETA. Normally you please one of your bosses at the expense of the others. This guy can't seem to please ANY of his bosses. I don't envy him. It's kindof similar to being the commander of US forces in Iraq. It's just a no-win job. Turn it down if the position is ever offered to you!
