PETA is not an animal-helping organization. PETA does no direct work with animals whatsoever. They contribute zero money to shelters or animal rescue or animal protection (read their tax forms, this is public knowledge). They do not lobby for good law change to protect animals in research, livestock on farms, etc.
PETA's stated mission has always been to finance and support complete, 100% elimination of use or ownership of all animals by humans, and they support and encourage violent opposition (including murder and arson) and civil disobedience to do so.
PETA was created to fund and funnel money to ALF, the extremely violent terrorist organization the Animal Liberation Front. PETA also gives money to ELF (an eco-terrorist organization)
The above has been extremely well-documented both in the press and courts of law over the past 27+ years.
Thus, every time there is a tragedy involving animals, PETA is suddenly there with their hands out exploiting the situation, being center in the public eye, screaming for "change" and "protection" for the animals - and trying to get money from those that want to "help those poor animals" in the immediate situation.
PETA doesn't give a damn about racehorses, other than they want all ownership, use and possession of horses by humans eliminated. PETA sees an opportunity to get money. Who do you think pays for the lifestyle of Ingrid Newkirk and her friends in PETA? Why is the IRS taking away PETA's "charitable organization" 501c status? (because it ISN'T a charitable organization that helps animals)
PETA has a very well-organized and well-financed publicity machine, including flying in chosen demonstrators - do you guys think things like demonstrations at the Horse Park today happen by chance? <g>
To support PETA is to chose to financially contribute to violent civil disobedience, including murder and arson, with the goal of ending any and all association with or use of animals by man.
That is all and only what PETA is. That is what they are proud to be - they make no secret of it.
