PETA never misses an opportunity to degrade its own credibility.

Since I am against all roadside memorials (and anything else that is there to distract drivers especially video billboards), I am all against the idea and hope the state rejects the request.

Memorials should be placed where ainmals are killed. They are worth more than humans, the dumbest, cruelest beasts on the planet.

I wanted to be one of the emergency workers on those scenes. I would have responded with A1, BBQ sauce, and Mesquite.

PETA is one of those reactionary liberal organizations that says something stupid every time they open their mouths. This is the same group of loons that wanted to rename the Catskill mountains.
