As a permanent account, you have capacity to toss things in your scrapbook and pull them from that. If that helps.

Peruvian gang killed people to harvest fat to sell.

Golly! What's the going rate for fat there, I wonder?!

The only thing I know about PETA is an episode of South park, but it sounds pretty, um, bizarre?

Actually, they apparently were selling it to large cosmetics firms in Europe for over thirty thousand pounds a gallon.

PETA's pretty bizarre even on their own, let alone in South Park.

I think anyone with a brain that reasons does, because they just don't think things through. "Protect all the animals!" But they have a euthanizing freezer in their headquarters that kills nearly half of the animals given to them. "Lobsters treat their young with an almost human-like affection." Even though most lobsters kill and eat their young if they don't swim away fast enough, and hello, lobster dinner anyone? "Release all animals from slavery!" Including helper animals, who are trained to help humans with disabilities, and are treated with a kindness and love that frequently surpasses an average family's for their children.

They just don't make sense. At all.
