Kitten,

You are limiting yourself to only having disdain for one or 2 groups? I don't think anyone thinks that the anti-Semitics, white supremesists (ok, I can't spell today), anti-gay, the Klan, the Black Panthers, whatever extremist group you're talking about doesn't deserve distain, but, that doesn't take the heat off of PETA either. What about them? They go out an viciously attack people for doing thngs that THEY don't think are right. They are literally a terrorist organization. You say that child abuse is a bad thing, what do you think PETA is doing when they accost little school children coming out of school and telling them that their mommies are murderers because they serve them meat or that they wear fur and then showing them horrific pictures so that they will have nightmares for weeks? Excuse me, I would deem that as child abuse. I guess I'm just confused as to why PETA is ok because they are supposed to be animal rights activists. You do understand that they think that ALL animals should be "free" and that they shouldn't be kept in houses or in yards that are fenced....etc.....
