Dan Piraro had a cute little comic which properly sums up my point of view on the subject of PETA and/or vegans... it had a cow and a chicken telling a girl that they had feelings and should not be eaten; then it had a stalk of corn saying that it is just as alive as the cow and chicken and it should not be eaten either; THEN there's a rock that says, "don`t bet any ideas or I`ll smack you upside the head". Anyone ever see that one?

The PETA motto is that they oppose the use of laboratory animal for ANY kind of drug testing. Period. It's not what`s used today thats the point, the point is that a lot of life sustaining medication in common use today was developed through testing on animals, and by animal byproducts. If not for that scientific line, those products might never have seen the light of day, or would have done so many years later.
PETA has a point to stop animal cruelty, but I cannot in good conscience support an organization that: Opposes people having pets. litteraly, doglovers and catlovers and all lovers of any kind of animal, that has them in their domestic residence, is considered a animal cruelty effecienado. Very bluntly put.
Lastly, Ingrid Newkirk is probably the worlds biggest hypocrite within the realm of animal lifesaving.
She supports the illegal removal of laboratory animals and other facility animals. It amazes me that a organization like PE
