The attack did provoke a response from [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals|PETA]] president [[Ingrid Newkirk]], who, after receiving many complaints, wrote a letter to [[Palestinian territories|Palestinian]] President [[Yasser Arafat]] asking him to encourage others to "leave the animals out of this conflict". In the letter, she cited historical examples of [[United States|US]], [[United Kingdom|UK]], and [[Al Qaeda]]-sponsored abuses of other animals in conflicts, specifically noting [[dog]]s were simply left in [[Vietnam]] by the US during the [[Vietnam War]], despite the fact that they were "loyal." She thus came to the conclusion that:
:''"Animals claim no nation. They are in perpetual involuntary [[servitude]] to all humankind, and although they pose no threat and own no weapons, human beings always win in the undeclared war against them. For animals, there is no [[Geneva Convention]] and no peace treaty—just our mercy."''
