It is thoroughly disgusting to me that PETA still gets any "cred" whatsoever as an "animal welfare" group.

"cred" is in the eye of the beholder, and this eye doesn't see any cred at all in PETA.

Of course PETA doesn't have credibility. You can tell by how they twist (or choose to willfully misunderstand) the facts. I thought the turf war between the AHA and PETA was interesting to hear about on ATR. I know who I'm siding with.

This is a pretty thorough interview, and I'm still going through it, but I have an immense respect for Mann and Milch. I thought highly of them before, but my opinion of them as human beings and as professionals just went up even more. Do we know what is happening to the horses that were used? They mentioned how they deliberately selected slower horses, and that the horses were treated better than they'd probably have otherwise been (we all know it's not the cushiest of situations for a low level claimer). If it's mentioned later in the article, sorry. I was just wondering.

It is just a travesty this series has been cancelled. I believe most of peta's money goes to their own salaries.

Or ALF, or similar extremist groups, firebombing universities, killing professors, etc.
