PETA Kooks

"People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is planning a "snarl-in' protest today at noon in front of House of Pets, 3836 N. Peck Road. The action is designed to convince consumers not to purchase Iams pet food. Iams mistreats dogs and cats in its laboratories, PETA activists say.

"But House of Pets does not carry Iams products, said store owner Myra Larkin. "We never have and never will,' Larkin said. "For the same reasons as (PETA) believes.' "

So remember, a little advance research can save a lot of embarassment.
