Well, think about it. Is PETA offering their deal to people who aren't in arrears on their bills? Is PETA offering their deal to people who aren't in an economically blighted community? No, they're seeking out the indigent and unfortunate. Payday loan companies don't approach people with savings, either - they provide ruinous loans to people who think they have no other options. I disagree with the first paragraph -- what coercion exists is created by poverty, not PETA
That particular side effect of Mormon missions had never occurred to me.
