Time for peta to write a new letter

Remember when the organization PETA wrote this letter to the estimable Yasser Arafat:

I am writing from an organization dedicated to fighting animal abuse around the world. We have received many calls and letters from people shocked at the bombing in Jerusalem on January 26 in which a donkey, laden with explosives, was intentionally blown up.
. . .
Animals claim no nation. They are in perpetual involuntary servitude to all humankind, and although they pose no threat and own no weapons, human beings always win in the undeclared war against them. For animals, there is no Geneva Convention and no peace treaty—just our mercy.

It's time for them to write a new letter:

The "Red Dawn" rocket alert system identified the rocket launch and an explosion was heard in the area shortly thereafter. On Sunday night, in almost precisely the same spot, two rockets landed close to the same community. One landed near the community's greenhouses.

The security chief added the atmosphere in the small community was depressed.

"One of the recent phenomena is the behavior of the pets, cats and dogs that have fled. There are many notices about cats and dogs that have disappeared. I remember my dog, which to my sorrow was run over, used to panic every time a Qassam rocket landed. I had to hold him almost forcefully so that he wouldn't go outside," he said.

Not out of concern for human Israelis or anything. But we wouldn't want another animal Holocaust, would we?
