From a letter to the editor of Asheville Citizen Times, Faye Arrington relates:

I am an animal lover. I am shocked at the speed of automobiles on the Blue Ridge Parkway and have reported same to the rangers.

On a recent Sunday I saw a little squirrel halfway across the road. A driver approached and could have more than given the squirrel time to get out of danger, but no. He hit the little squirrel. I jumped out hoping he [the squirrel] was only dazed. I picked him up, trying to breathe air into his nostrils--his heart was still beating--yet he died in my arms before I got home.

This indifference must end--they are God's creations. We are responsible for their welfare.

I can just see her doing mouth to mouth on a squirrel!  LOL!  If nothing else, Peta sure makes for good humor!
