Hmmmmmmmmm.....

Any train of thought including "PETA" and "Duggars" can only lead, in my mind, to something about the pot calling the kettle ridiculous and irrelevant.

The Duggar family did not authorize PETA to use their name.

Thanks Sherrenee, if I remember correctly you know the family personally, am I right? I may not agree with their life style, but to use their name or put them down should be grounds for a nice law suit or maybe something even worse...

Yes, I do know the Duggars, they are apart of my family. My husband asked them about the name usage and he was informed it was not authorized. As for what or if anything will be done about the usage...I don't know.

I have this bumper sticker on the back of my truck for this very event-it reads P.E.T.A.-PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS-do you think they would like to have one on thiers?
