I got this outrageous email from someone at PETA:

Dear Mr. Goldberg,
I found your “Bush equals Hitler” article very interesting. While certain comparisons to the Holocaust and to Hitler are a bit far-fetched (to say the least), there are some which have strong historical backing and present-day significance. As a Jew, the most striking to me is perhaps the gross similarities between the Holocaust and modern-day meat production, both in methods and mindset. During the Holocaust, average people allowed the concentration camps to operate by turning away from cruelty. They separated themselves from the victims and used that as a justification to allow the abuse to go on. Today, people use the same justification to allow cruel factory farms to operate, and support them each time they sit down to eat. When people eat meat they are supporting a system that rips children away from their mothers, transports innocent beings over hundres of miles through all weather extremes, confines them in cramped, filthy conditions, and herds them to their deaths in assembly line fashion. This is the same system that was used to exterminate Jews and others during the Holocaust. Nobel Prize winning Yiddish author, Isaac Bashevis Singer noted that, “To animals, all people are Nazis.” Theodor Adorno, another noteworthy survivor, said that “Aschwitz begins wherever ones sees a slaughterhouse and thinks: they’re only animals.”
