LOOK at the site! They support criminals! A man bombed a college research lab and PETA gave 70,000 to bail him out!!

They said--------
To those people who say, `My father is alive because of animal experimentation,’ I say `Yeah, well, good for you. This dog died so your father could live.’ Sorry, but I am just not behind that kind of trade off.

Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.
- PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk

Answer 1

Not only do they kill animals they want to kill all pit bulls and make it to where we can not have pets
“I don’t use the word “pet.” I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer “companion animal.” For one thing, we would NO LONGER ALLOW BREEDING.. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance — Ingrid Newkirk, PETA’s President, quoted in The Harper’s Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223. “

Answer 2

What is the difference between PETA being opposed to killing animals to find cure for diseases/ viruses and the government being opposed to killing embryos to to find cures for diseases/ viruses??

No, I'm not in any way shape or form sticking up for PETA, but if these people want to fight for a cause they believe in, more power to them.

Answer 3

I don't tell people to not eat meat - seems we are designed to eat it, but I don't see what's wrong with PETA's other positions. We don't have the right to just do as we please with nature.
