Dear Friends:

CLIPPING FROM NYTimes:
(8/20/79) pg 40, section E, column 2
 
        . . .Five anti-puppicide activists were arrested
today for protesting the wholesale slaughter of innocent
puppies.  No names were given by the police.  None were
hurt, and all were released two hours later.  One was quoted
as saying, "We protest the wholesale slaughter of innocent
puppies."

Dear PLATO people:

         I think that we should get an opposing view.  
The "wholesale slaughter of innocent puppies" mentioned in
earlier notes was a total misrepresentation of today's
modern use of the puppy.
         Sure, I like puppies.  But the industrial use of
puppies means one big thing--JOBS!  Yes, in these days of
recession, that's one big plus for the people.  
         The automotive industry uses puppies in extremely
efficient and humane way.  Their introduction in 1978 of
the "Puppifur" natural fur car top provided tens of jobs
for the American people, as well as a beautiful new option
for the American car.
         Puppies are a cheap, plentiful resource that are
just as dependable as nuclear power.  Let's support 
America by supporting the Puppy industry!
 
                 Your fellow American,
                 Bolt Upright

Dear Bolt:
 
        You swine!  How can you call the wholesale slaughter
of thousands of innocent puppies every year anything else
but a crime?  
        "Humane" you say?  Have you ever seen a puppy
trawler?  Men leaning over the sides with puppy harpoons
waiting for one to surface?  Tiny bowls of Puppy Choice or
rubber pull toys used as lures for hideous puppy traps?
It just makes me sick.
 
                Your Friend,
                Dr. Graper
