Perhaps he ought to think about going and kissing the puppy and kitty corpses PETA dumps in trash bins, after stuffing the live animals in tiny crates in the backs of their filthy vans, jamming them full of death drugs, and finally dumping them into the trash leaving their bodies to be compacted and crushed by garbage trucks.
