Zucker you're just plain wrong. I've seen the Peta folks at fishing tournaments attempting to disrupt the event. I saw one Peta boat full of folks throw a five-gallon paint can of blood into one of the contestant boats. That had to be stopped; someone was going to get seriously hurt. I've read news reports of other antics of this group as they have attempted to intefere with people's choice of what to eat and it amounted to a restraint of trade. The president of Peta was for a long time quoted on the Peta site that she wanted to see the end of even the concept that people kept pets. And on and on and on and on in that vein.
Face it, the Peta folks are a cult. They have all the characteristics of a cult; therefore they walk like a duck, quack, swim, fly and all else like a duck. They must be a duck.
I have a friend whose wife has a fox stole. He doesn't smoke, but he carries a big cigarette lighter (butane) with him and he swears that if any Peta folks ever come up to his wife and he in public when she's wearing that stole, and begin some of the shit they pull, he's going to get out his lighter and someone is going to be hurt.
People don't like Peta, and they've got damn good reasons for not liking Peta. People want to mind their own business and make their own decisions; they don't want Peta attempting to force their way on them - or JWs either.
Peta - self-righteousness gone berserk. You watch. Some Peta nut is going to be seriously hurt before long.
