I agree that PETA is not a great organization. I support their cause for the most part, but I think their methods are often unwise, as m_the0ry argued. It seems that activists have a tendency to get frustrated when people aren't paying any attention to the "obvious" horrible evil the activists are trying to enlighten them about, so they start switching to more extreme/exaggerated/sensationalist tactics. Facts start becoming less important. It's like the pro-lifers who wave around signs showing graphic pictures of mutilated fetuses or start hanging around abortion clinics spitting on young girls as they enter. Anyway PETA are flawed, but not all bad. I would like to see them either improve or get replaced as the poster anti-animal-cruelty group.
