4. I can give them
my recipe for roast goose.

That will thin the flocks pretty quickly, no? And feed the hungry.

9. Compare the carbon footprint of a goose to that Airbus
Geese are a natural part of our environment, that plane was not.

You know, they do a lot of good for animal rights, and no, I'm not joking.

11. I tend to agree. They run some bizarre and occasionally annoying campaigns,
but there is a method to their madness. I suspect that most of their more extreme pronouncements are somewhat tongue in cheek, designed to call attention to an issue, and the small handful of actual PETA people I've met tend to be fairly level-headed...

12. Ingrid wrote in one of her books that their job sometimes
is to do something so silly or "out there" that it causes people to throw stones, BUT it still gets people talking about it, even out of mockery. PLUS, it gets website traffic their way and keeps the PETA name in the minds of everyone.

A friend of mine who works there says that even the employees get a chuckle out of some of the campaign ideas.

14. Yeah. Even though I put a bunch of weasel-words in my post for some reason,
I think that strategy was obvious years ago (and even without her explicitly saying it)...
