Future presidential animal killer? [PETA : KERRY THE ANIMAL KILLER!]

I want to know if PETA plans to issue a statement denouncing John Kerry's slaughter of the geese that is being paraded all over the news and internet like some kind of great heroic event? I think it is hideous.

Thank you for contacting PETA about political candidates who engage in blood sports. Please understand that PETA certainly opposes any activity which causes intentional harm to animals, including hunting and fishing.

I emailed back HYPOCRITES

My response from PETA (below). I think calling or faxing would be the better option as they have obviously set-up a standard response to e-mails.
