I know that lots of people on here aren't supporters of PETA. I don't know much about them and I'd like to know more so if you wouldn't mind please post your thoughts of them. What are some things that they did that you like/dont like. This isn't supposed to be a fight, I just want to know more.

PETA is extreme. I asked them to send me a package to learn how to become a vegetarian. BIG MISTAKE!!! They sent me GRAPHIC pictures of how chickens and cows are slaughtered. Not exactly what I had in mind.

I attended a hearing of a cat killer couple of years back. There were alot of animal advocates there holding a peaceful protest. That was UNTIL a member of PETA decided to attack one of the defendants as he was walking out of court. Made the rest of us peaceful folks look bad.

Peta is extreme an gives a bad name to people who try to teach others how to care for their pets. If I try to explain to people the many benefits of spaying and neutering there are always some people who dismiss me as a "peta person". I've also been called this when explaining to people where pet store puppies come from. Peta makes it hard for people to take important issues seriously.

I agree with the above: extreme. Too extreme. They do protests, but not usually peaceful ones. They are obviously against meat and fur, but also against milk because it comes from cows.
