"The Corrective Party is aghast that a certain badly feathered example of Christian Haemorrhoid Poultry, an aesthetically challenged Capon, somehow took advantage of the plight of the battered hens rescued by Wellington Animal Action!!!" droned Sister Hydroponica SM, Agro-spokesnun today.

"This seems to indicate that there was more to the problem than hen abuse alone- namely the dark and sinister hint of a failed genetic modification experiment gone horribly wrong!!! When we first observed that this Capon was a silly old turkey, we only meant it in a figurative sense- but now there is proof that the Capon in question IS a REAL turkey!!! Why has it masqueraded as the leader of a constipated bottom-beating believer and spirit-filled spanking movement for all these years!!!" culminated the Green Nun.
