I have a feeling this will turn into a long & angry thread, I'm a little hesitant to say my opinion... oh well

I am not a card carrying member of PETA (as I am writing this I'm eating pork goyza & wearing leather shoes ), 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 know several people who would definitely not be alive today if it weren't for animal testing. I do not think those animals die in vain. It bothered me that PETA failed to mention that.
