#1 IMHO, PETA's destruction of animal laboratories constitutes a crime against humanity.

#2 In a little noticed press release, Frances the Mule weighed in on this issue here. Mouse over the photo for the ALT description.

#3 I'm a member of an offshoot group of PETA: Our mission statement is to find poor, defenceless animals, hunt them down, kill them, disassemble them, cook a good-sized portion of them, saving the rest for later in the freezer, and eat their Medium-rare remains. PEOPLE ENJOYING TASTY ANIMALS.

#4 Bodyguard --- we have a branch of PETA here in Alaska (People Eating Tasty Animals). In fact, they have bumper stickers. We also have a few donkeys, but we give them a wide berth, being HAZMAT nowadays and all...........

#5 Geeez, Wilbur...what if they switch to horses now that they've pissed off PETA?

#6 I used to support PETA. I see nothing wrong with demanding that people acknowledge animals feel pain and that cruelty against them is wrong. And, a vegetarian diet is good for you and great for the planet (though I confess I had chicken for dinner). But I stopped supporting them when it became clear that, like the Sierra Club, they had been taken over by folks who had lost site of their mission and sanity. What a shame, the animals could use advocates instead of assholes.

#7 If you're against cruelty to animals, the ASPCA does the job. If you're thinking more in terms of ~~being revolting~~ having a revolution, PETA's more your style.
