Montpelier, Vermont I know what you are thinking ... since when has PETA been worried about Maple Trees?  They can't possibly be suffering the wrath of man, can they?  Luckily, PETA hasn't quite crossed that line yet.  So why attack Canada's Maple Syrup?  To stop the clubbing of Baby Seals.  Now, the logical next question would be ... what does Canadian Maple Syrup and Baby Seals have to do with one another?  You are going to love PETA's answer ... absolutely NOTHING!!!!
