**It's called a joke and a reference to a comedian. I'm sorry that you didn't get it as I know it was obscure. :-/**
*nods* Okay, no worries. I personally don't even like joking about animal abuse, but if I had known what you said was in jest rather than a statement of your true opinion I wouldn't have been as harsh in my response.

You are very right to be wary of PETA, but their existance doesn't invalidate the need to fight for animal welfare. If you are looking for much more reasonable and practicle advice on living a compassionate and animal-friendly life, I highly recommend Jane Goodall's books and website. She does not seek to make people feel like there is One Right Way to love animals but is still firm on always seeking to expand our education of the problem.
