Men who would torture animals (under any pretext) are a filthy scum and a disgrace to the human race; and I have never read a more vile form of torture than that developed to prove the relative merits of rival brands of tobacco . . . If you, or any group, plan to come down on these stinkers like a ton of brick, and need funds, you can put me down...
