I remember reading in the early 90s that the true goal of Peta is to effect a complete separation between animals and humans. They won't publicize this I read, but what they really want -- besides the more publicized goals of universal veganism and banning the use of animals in medical testing -- is for people to stop having pets. Maybe the green movement will be joining them in that cause.

Should be 1918, not 1916.

It's true that the influenza pandemic took off in 1918; however, it was preceded by smaller, allegedly related epidemics beginning in 1916. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, probably.
