this is where PETA does more harm to itself than good. I understand their position of "everything is a living animal/being, etc" however by acting insane on an issue like this, they basically take away the areas of common agreement which fall under their cause. I think in this environment, in general, people feel that...
- Fur Coats are unecessary and wrong
- Testing cosmetics on animals is wrong
- Maybe even that some of the ways that animals are killed for food production (see KFC) are wrong
- Dolphins being killed for Tuna production is wrong
- ETC
So they make some progress and have some public good on their side, then they do something stupid like this.
Or maybe they feel that for every 10 people who go to the site and say "they are crazy". One person will go to the site, look around and check out other things on the site and get intrested.
I know alot of people that work for or with Peta and one thing they are not is attention whores. They work hard for what they believe and they always stick to their guns.
