The point is, that it's been forwarded around. The actual letter gives
no source, just the quotes. People tend to trust those who send them
things--if you got an email from your trusted pastor, you'd tend to
believe it. This letter has a life of its own now, and is being passed
around as gospel truth (pardon the unavoidable pun). The forwarders
don't *know* it's from the Onion. Hence my heads-up.

You should read some of their animal rights pieces. They skewer both
sides of the issue rather well.
