PETA sends “bin Laden Bites” to local troops

PETA wants troops to enjoy animal-friendly chocolates and fight terror in one bite.

The animal rights group has sent vegan chocolates that resemble Osama bin Laden to soldiers of the Chattanooga-based U.S. Army Reserve 212th Transportation Company as they prepare for deployment to Afghanistan.

“These delicious vegan-chocolate ‘bin Laden Bites’ give a whole new meaning to the saying ‘Revenge is sweet,'” said PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk in a news release.

The dark chocolates embossed with the image of Mr. bin Laden were sent to Camp Atterbury, Ind., where soldiers of the 212th are finishing pre-deployment training before heading into a yearlong tour in Afghanistan.
