PETA erks me off!
Okay first I am all for animal rights. Ask anyone I know and they will tell you I am in love with absolutly every animal and respect them.
Well I support pretty much every organization for animal rights except PETA.
PETA I think only concentrates on testing, eating animals, and wearing fur. THERE'S MORE THEN THAT!
I personally don't think PETA knows diddly-squat about most animals. Did they know...
-1.4 million animals don't feel pain during testing?
-Pfizer only uses white rats for blood samples and genetics?
-It was Jane Goodal who saw that chimps will hunt wild boar?
-Scientests suggest fish do not feel pain when fished because they release more pain killers from the brain then humans?
-Many people believe deer and cow do not releaze death?
*NOTE I AM NOT FOR ANIMAL TESTING I AM JUST STATING FACTS*
PETA requests $16 a year to stay a member. Lets see PETA doesn't run a sanctuary or a shelter so what does the money go to? PETA claims that the money "goes right towards the animals"
How? Buying some cardboard to write "FREE THE CHICKENS" on? Do they give money to other sanctuaries and shelters? Nope. Did they care when I woman asked them to protest someone who was abusing primates she sold as pets and was doing "kitchen surgery"? No
So I just had to say that I'm really sick of PETA. There are better organazations people could support.

If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
We just wrote it like that
When you're listening late at night
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are, they just play it like that
It doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern song
It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
When it's only a Northern song
If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You're correct, there's nobody there
And I told you there's no one there

), but I do support some of the things PETA does. Even if I do eat meat & have products that contain animal by-products (believe me, I often feel guilty about that) I don't care what anyone says, I STILL DO LOVE ANIMALS!! A few months ago I donated some money to PETA (I can't remember what for ...), but consequently I have been receiving a lot of mailings from them (maybe that's where all that money goes 
). Just the other day I got a survey asking for my opinion on animal testings. While the survey had questions on using animals for testing beauty products, household cleaners, and what not, it did not mention using animal testing for medical purposes. While I am against animal testing for the first reasons, I do support animal testing for medical purposes (however, it would be nice if the animals had more humane treatment 
I love that PETA cares so much for animals, but I agree with what you said in your first post - I think there are better organizations than PETA that you could support.
OMG, I never knew that! That is horrible
