PETA Now Owners Of Kraft Stock
From the inbox: In a move that doesn't involve nudity or browbeating, PETA
has purchased stock in Kraft Foods as part of a plan to pressure Kraft into
not using pork for its foodstuffs supplied by farms that utilize gestation
crates. Gestation crates (or "sow stalls") are 7-foot by 2-foot cages where
pregnant sows are confined during gestation. A recent Humane Society of the
United States report on welfare issues gestation crates showed that sows
confined to the crates developed enlarged hooves, weakened bones, urinary
tract infections and lameness, among other ailments. PETA made the stock
purchase after overtures they made to Kraft did not respond to requests to
work together privately on this and other animal welfare issues
So how many shares did they purchase?
5?

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.
This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
I probably have more shares of KFT than they do, so I can out vote them.
