Stormy , I also really like Quiznos, a group of us go there about 3 times a month for a get together lunch. It really bothered me about Peta telling them what to do. We have not been back since I told them of your email. They are not dog show people but the are animal people and think PETA is more than dangerous to all of us, anyway, I also emailed them and this is what they emailed back to me. Pam Thank you very much for the feedback. We understand your concerns and we want to assure you that our agenda is not focused on PETA, but rather, on bringing the best Quiznos products to our customers. The initiatives outlined by PETA are relatively small corporate responsibility steps, and ones that we would undertake regardless of PETA's interest. However, we do feel a level of responsibility for our environment and as such, we will continue to seek sustainability or "green" initiatives will be a win-win-win for Quiznos, our customers and the environment. It is our hope that you will support us in those initiatives and in return we promise to continue delivering the same great quality meats, cheeses and produce that you have come to expect from the Quiznos experience. -----Original Message----- From: Pamela Bennett [mailto:crmrequests@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 8:30 AM To: HelpDesk Subject: QUIZNOS Web Site Request - Contact Us Name: Pamela Bennett Email: culzeans1@xxxxxxx Phone: 9035822656 Address: 1526 CR 4744 City: Sulphur Springs State: TX Zip: 75482 Comment o r Question: in regards to your recent support of PETA terrorist tactics, I and quite a few of my friends have stopped going to your Quiznos in Sulphur Springs TX.

I don't are.  Then it's a matter of choice again.  The grocery stores are learning that healthy" or "green" products are selling about like specialty products... they ave them, but in a special area and not many are being sold.  Too expensive for any pocket books. Organic foods have special sections in the freezers and in ther sections.  But the market doesn't sto p selling all the other foods. t doesn't mean closing their doors... it means realizing that bowing to xtremists doesn't work and good business practices mean they need to find an lternative.  It means that we, as a concerned publi c, don't have to do business ith those who cave to extremists. oon I will be listing all those business that I can find who have bowed to the ETA/HSUS pressure and will let you all know when it's available.. ow to find the politicians who are in HSUS/PETA back pockets... DUMP THEM!!!
