I could tell it was a parody. Mr. McVeigh should not be allowed to take even one more life. It had to be a spoof. To suggest that murdering a human being in an act of terrorism is on the same moral plane as killing a cow for food is so obtuse and heartless that no feeling person could write such words except in satire. Feeding inmates bean burritos rather than baby back ribs might just help break the cycle of violence .
Nonviolence begins in the kitchen.
Whoever wrote this was obviously trying to make PETA look ridiculous. On the crazy-meter, the idea that people are driven to murder by ordering steak tips instead of the vegetarian platter registers deep in the red zone. Only someone intent on mocking PETA, I figured, could come up with something so callous and depraved. I was half right. Callous and depraved the mindset behind this letter undoubtedly is.
