AR-News: (IN) PETA Earns Rebuke From Dalai Lama

[animalconcerns at fastmail.us]

NEW DELHI - The office of the Dalai Lama said Friday the animal rights
group PETA misrepresented the nature of a request by the spiritual
leader that fast-food chain KFC not open an outlet in his homeland,
Tibet.
...
But the Dalai Lama's heading on the document, "APPEAL," was changed to
"Dear Mr. Novak," a reference to CEO David Novak of Yum! Restaurants,
the parent company of KFC. PETA then issued a news release saying the
Dalai Lama had "dispatched a letter" to the company.

The rest of the text of the Dalai Lama's appeal was unchanged, including
his comment that seeing a chicken slaughtered outside a kitchen in India
in 1965 made him decide to become a vegetarian.
