Meryl Yourish has designated Saturday, March 15th asEat an Animal for PETA Day in response to PETA's new campaign equating eating animals to the Holocaust.

Here is Meryl's sample letter to send to PETA:

Dear PETA,

I found your new ad campaign, "The Holocaust on your plate," offensive and outrageous. But I don't expect your organization to suddenly develop any sense of tact or human decency, so I thought I'd tell you what your campaign has wrought:

March 15th has been designated "International Eat An Animal For PETA" day. On that day, I'll be chowing down on a juicy steak, or chicken, or perhaps I'll have lobster—fresh, of course, chosen from the tank specifically for me. Maybe I'll have a plate of ribs at my local barbecue restaurant. Then there's that great seafood restaurant with the poached salmon and the delicious crabcakes. I could take my family there.

America's a free country, and you have the right to say what you want, no matter how offensive I think it is. But as a result of your insensitivity to those millions of people who died in the real Holocaust, and to the survivors and their descendants, I and my family will show PETA the same kind of insensitivity.

And have a great, meat-filled dinner, while we're at it.

Chew on that.

I think I'll take my family out that day for brunch at Golden Corral, replete with sausage, ham, bacon, eggs, you name it. That evening, perhaps we'll head to Applebee's or maybe Red Lobster and indulge our carnivorous desires.
