I don't give money to any anti-hunting or anti-medical research group. Most of them, PETA in particular, are evil hypocrites.
PETA staff from their headquarters in Norfolk Virginia were recently charged with going to North Carolina, breaking into an animal shelter at night, stealing about 100 dogs and cats, killing them, and throwing their bodies in a dumpster.
And the evil jerks call themselves "ethical"...
If you gave money to PETA, you helped them kill dogs and cats.
Feel better about loving animals now?

they're basically 5 out of tens of millions of human beings. anybody's entitled to their own opinion. as properly, giving money to PETA isn't for them, yet for the animals. And in case you be attentive to that donating will help the animals, this shouldn't impact you.

They're just 5 out of millions of other people. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Besides, giving money to PETA is not for them, but for the animals. And if you know that donating will help the animals, this shouldn't affect you.

They don't get a penny from me. I only volunteer and donate money to local pet rescues and shelters. They use their resources to save dogs and cats.

I don't give money to PETA. I think they're a bunch of nutcases.
