Peta is about as radical and extremist a group as I have seen. They do fund 'terrorist' groups such as ALF and others. I did a lot of research on them a few weeks ago and was pretty apalled. They also have 'front' organizations where they get funds from people who don't realize their funds are actually going to Peta.

And oh yes, I know my dogs are miserable being pets and would much rather be out in the wild
