Smith County Sheriff's Jail near Dallas, Texas. Sheriff J.B. Smith recently received a fax from the national headquarters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), one of the largest animal-rights groups in the country, which is also virulent in its opposition to hunting and fishing.
PETA asked the sheriff and jail officials to refrain from serving any meat products to inmate Christopher McCuin - a man jailed for murdering his girlfriend and "possibly participating in cannibalism" of the victim's body. PETA Vice President Bruce Friedrich wrote, "It is up to [the Sheriff] to prevent McCuin from contributing to any more suffering and death."
