| The Only Monkeys at the NASA Wallops Island Flight Facility Were PETA's |
Rose A. Valenta writes:
I guess the folks at PETA didn't hear about the NASA
budget cut. Obama cut financial aid for the Moon Mission Project to
off-set our financial deficit. So, there will be no monkeys on the moon
or at the Wallops Island Flight facility waiting for lift-off.
Actually, there has never been any squirrel monkeys living here.
However, this didn't stop PETA from bringing three wannabes and
demonstrating at Wallops Island, VA, on Wednesday, February 3, 2010.
