PETA is calling on owners of Mazda vehicles affected by the recent spider infestation to donate their cars instead of handing them over for the recall.

As previously reported, 2009-2010 Mazda6 vehicles developed a strange fuelling problem when a certain species of spider was found in the fuel vent lines. Mazda recalled the vehicles, so mechanics could murder the poor spiders - or so PETA would have you believe.

Without a hint of self-interest, PETA kindly offered to accept the vehicles as donations. They volunteered to gently remove the spiders and set them free before commandeering the vehicles for their own purposes.
