They are "anti-animal rights" in the sense of these groups like Peta and HSUS, yes. They are not anti-ASPCA type groups. Also wherever the facts are published, they are facts and indisputable, inasmuch as where their funds are really going. If you don't like the particular links I happened to post do your own search. I came up with literally thousands of sites on it, everything I looked at stating the same thing. HSUS, Peta etc, do NOT use their funds to help a single animal shelter or adoption program.. they fund raids on Fast food chains and radical extremist protests. If that is what you would wnat to fund by donating to them, then you would be donating to the right place, however their literature leads people to believe they are funding shelters and such which they are not... Did you actually read the articles? They were not slamming legitimate organizations that help animals.

Also the next to last link in my second post is not an anti-animal rights organization either. It is a consumer awareness program that tracks nonprofit orgs and where they spend their funds.

Anyway, in the end it is up to you. I've spent enough hours looking at all the information and educating myself about these particular organizations. Anyone who is determined not to believe it will find a reason not to.
