This has trouble written all over it

[Rupert Pupkin]

I think you guys are making way too big of a deal about PETA. I don't think people make their decisions about whether something is cruel based on what PETA says. Millions of people saw that horse break down. I think people are going to make up their own minds about the incident and about whether horseracing is cruel or not. I don't think there are many people out there who saw the incident and thought one thing, but changed their minds when they heard PETA's opinion.

you'd be surprised rupert. some people have to get their opinion from elsewhere, as it would be too much trouble to form their own after reasonable inquiry and debate.
plenty of lemmings who will use petas talking points to rail against this cruel sport, but they really don't know the sport, just that peta said it's 'bad'. oh, and please send money, join the fight...
