PETA et al love to use the Big Lie propaganda technique. Unfortunately that means we can expect them to keep repeating these misleading arguments regardless of how often they're debunked. Was it Mark Twain that talked about "Lies, damn lies, and statistics?" Thanks for publishing this. PETA et al love to use the Big Lie propaganda technique.
