Today in “strange things that happen around here” news: We received a shipment of flowers from PETA thanking our editorial board for its piece on the Reid Park Zoo elephant situation. Even stranger, the note on the flowers said that 10% of the cost of the flowers was donated to PETA. So, they managed to donate to themselves and get us some flowers.

Dear God! Must you show their corpses? How many flowers had to die so you could feel good, Tucson Weekly? Hmmm?
How dare they take part in the genocide of those living breathing daises? And couldnt they spring for a more expensive (see nicer) arrangement, considering they are getting a kick back anyway?
They’re not daisies; they’re sunflowers. Please. Actually the greatest concern I heard here at Weekly World HQ involved the plight of whatever insects might inadvertently have been hijacked from their native habitats.
Forgive me, I failed botany in my 13 years at ITT Tech
