With all do respect, I disagree with this statement. This is like saying that some factions of the KKK weren't that bad. PETA is a centralized organization with a concise mission. PETA is a radical organization. I'm sure that some members of PETA are 'nice people', but they choose to be members of a radical organization which supports and promotes violence against human beings.
Lets also remember that PETA promotes 100% animal liberation, including liberation from pet ownership. I assume most of us on this forum are pet owners.
I do not support PETA, but they they get some things done:
"PETA also has given $2,000 to David Wilson, then a national ALF “spokesperson.†The group paid $27,000 for the legal defense of Roger Troen, who was arrested for taking part in an October 1986 burglary and arson at the University of Oregon. It gave $7,500 to Fran Stephanie Trutt, who tried to murder the president of a medical laboratory. It gave $5,000 to Josh Harper, who attacked Native Americans on a whale hunt by throwing smoke bombs, shooting flares, and spraying their faces with chemical fire extinguishers. All of these monies were paid out of tax-exempt funds, the same pot of money constantly enlarged by donations from an unsuspecting general public."
