Letter: Mirage should combat PETA ‘money machine’

Monday, Aug. 28, 2000 | 10:21 a.m.

Alan Feldman from the Mirage is right on target when he said PETA is a "very highly organized money machine." And what does PETA spend its donations on? Harassment, harassment, harassment. What it wants is to make Mirage's life so miserable that it'll say, "Here, take the elephant." Then PETA will put poor Gilda in its "sanctuary" and raise money from its famous "catch."

If PETA wants a celebrity animal, let it go and buy one. Too bad all of the public can't see through this bunch. I love when it said it got "a handful of letters complaining about Gilda." So is that any reason to upset an animal who's been fine for 20 years to please a handful of "nuts." Let's hope the Mirage sticks to its guns and doesn't award them with a big check just to get it off its back, which is really what it wants (in my humble opinion).
