PETA is a well-known domestic terrorist organization that has zero interest in helping animals.

Using the donations of those that want to "help animals", PETA primarily funds branches of terrorism that commit arson and murder, specializing in killing civilians and stopping those doing medical research.

This proves my point! You are entitled to your opinion but wild baseless accusations do little to advance the public discourse...and are an affront to those of us who give of ourselves to try and make a tiny bit of difference. How are you different from PETA at it's worst when you respond like that?

But it's not baseless, nor is it "opinion". It's fact that is there in the public record. You, however, have to read it.

PETA has been around since the early 1980's, when they were formed as the front organization to collect funds from those that want to "help animals", so they could fund the Animal Liberation Front.

i wonder how much of the donations to peta go to legitimate rescue organizations and the like, and how much to fund witch hunts such as this. i think we can all do our part to help animals and raise awareness without funding a bunch of ultra-zealous crackpots. there is no middle ground with groups such as this.

There is always "middle ground" the trick is to find it! Painting with a large brush always colors many folks unfairly, I am not a "ultra-zealous crackpot" and I would love to see a solution that is "nicer"! When name-calling replaces issues, nothing is accomplished.

you've never struck me as being a crack pot, which is why i'm somewhat amazed that you belong to a group that i would classify as such.

as for an investigation, peta has already decided the outcome, saying the filly was 'obviously' injured before the race was over. as for respecting the grief of those involved, peta seems interested in anything but, demanding a jocks suspension and the purse money revoked. yeah, they're full of respect.

if the facts warrant a suspension or purse return so be it. let's try to determine how this happened, that's the main point. the breeders may escape scrutiny but they should not.

Jumping on a free publicity bandwagon has historically always been a sure quick moneymaker for PETA. They love it when animal tragedy falls into their lap and can be exploited for financial gain.

In this next week, PETA will receive many $25 checks from folks that want to help PETA save the poor abused horsies from the evil horseracing industry.

None at all. PETA is still a 501c (although the IRS is probably going to finally pull that status) thus the records they submit are public.

PETA doesn't do any animal rescue, etc.
