Right-wing cowards distribute anonymous flier against local business...
http://snipurl.com/20vis

Here's the beginning of the story. Go to the link above for the rest. A shame that these type of people still exist, as the town where this store is located is really turning itself around.

PHOENIXVILLE — A flier circulating around the borough accuses Earth Mart of supporting animal rights extremists.

Employees from the business said they were shocked by the flier, which contained a picture of its storefront and an anti-PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) graphic.

“Earth Mart Supports Animal Rights Extremists,” the flier alleges, continuing, “The Phoenixville Earth Mart Store is hosting a party for local animal-rights extremists on March 15 right here in your neighborhood.”

That party is the Great American Meat-Out Celebration and Outreach Event, which encourages people to refrain from eating meat products for a day. The organization sponsoring the event is the Philadelphia chapter of Club Veg, a nonprofit vegetarian education group. The event will feature free vegetarian food samples, displays and information.

2. They should quitly change the 'meat-out' meeting day, only telling their customers,
and also show up with cameras on the day mentioned in the flyer. :)

4. You know, that's an interesting question...
Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with the local meat-packing and/or producing industry, so I couldn't really say. This area is becoming less and less farm-ey as the suburbs of Philadelphia grow further and further west.

6. To a RWinger, animal and environmental activists are just a notch below a Muslim on their
'terrorists' scale.

7. Is now being a vegetarian equated with being unpatriotic?
