Oh I'm sorry. How dare I bring up valid criticisms of PETA's leadership? OH MY! Please forgive me! I mean, I should just let them do what they want, even if that encourages fanatics to try to kill fishermen (Josh Harper, CONVICTED), murder medical researchers (Fran Trutt, CONVICTED), and cause intense traumatic stress to young children. (http://web.archive.org/web/20010713205136/http://inq.philly.com/content/inquirer/2000/06/11/sunmag/features/eco.htm) It's all fine since hey, it's for the animals. (Unless you're a human animal cause they don't count apparently.)
PETA deserves to lose their tax exempt status. Their leadership has repeatedly called for acts of violence and openly admired murderers for "making Versace stop using fur."
I do apologize for being somewhat emotional about this. I'm still kind of pissed off over how some peta members here in Seattle treated my friend's grandmother once. Apparently they thought it'd be a great idea to toss red paint on her for wearing a fur coat.
Keep in mind this lady was over 80 at the time and the coat was a wedding present from her late husband dating back to when she was in her 20s. So yeah, I'll admit I'm not too keen on PETA's tactics.
