Geez, I thought that letter was kind of stupid and reactionary, actually. Personal insults, faulty logic and a general mischaracterization of the animal rights movement.
Like foie protesters who yell "fuck you" to diners walking into restaurants that serve foie aren't reactionary and using personal insults. I think it made a ton of good points. They would rather pick on small targets than actually try to change the big picture. Kind of like those PETA losers. Oh, wait, that's a personal insult, too......
