No it's not. When the "president" of an organization is closely linked and proven to have aided and abetted a known domestic terrorist group it's calling a duck a duck. No matter what the "members" which to think, their/your leader helps terrorists.

an excerpt:
Most ominously, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk was involved in the multi-million-dollar arson at Michigan State University that resulted in a 57-month prison term for Animal Liberation Front bomber Rodney Coronado. At Coronado’s sentencing hearing, U.S. Attorney Michael Dettmer said that PETA’s Ingrid Newkirk arranged ahead of time to have Coronado send her a pair of FedEx packages from Michigan -- one on the day before he burned the lab down, and the other shortly afterward.
PETA doesn't do anything good for animals, there are groups that do, but they are not one of them.
All they do is try to push their agenda down everyones throats and if you don't agree they scream and have a fit.
Additionally, they blatanly mis-use thier funding as a 501C3. The legislation you are referring to is illegal under the statutes of 501C3 laws. Only extremely limited monies are allowed 501c3 groups to lobby federal or state govt. Do you have any idea the kind of money they raised with their eight belles e-mail to do what with...go protest at the Preakness?
And frankly as far as your non-hormone meat, go buy organic or raise it yourself, maybe I like hormones in my meat, why should you and the terrorist group decide how I take my meat. (
I should have read that before I posted it, be nice people)
I have enough government in my life telling how to think and how to live.
I despise groups like PETA, all they do is stand on a soapbox, ask for money and contribute to terrorist organizations.
During one of the largest animal rescue deployments, Katrina, PETA was shunned and often times banned by the mainstream groups and our federal govt.
They actually wanted to stop the euthanization, BY the extremely skilled disaster/trauma VMAT vets, of animals suffering from chemical burns, extreme dehydration and other catastrophic illnesses. What is humane about that.
They, PETA people, had to be physically removed from the facility. And I do know from personal experience I vet teched with the VMAT teams for 2 months after Katrina.
Additionally which this has nothing to do with anything, thier people were just gross, unwashed, dirty hippyish types, I almost threw up when one of them put thier sandaled feet next to me, (well I did throw up). And why would you be walking around a toxic HZMAT detox center in sandals????
Why don't you go ask your local animal shelter, who toil diligently under dire situations and very little funding...when is the last time PETA helped them. The answer would be NEVER!
Then ask them the last time ASPCA or Best Friends to name a few have helped or provided grants, often times it could be very recent if the shelter applied, these groups give grants all the time and feverishly help with animal over-population. But that's right, PETA's answer to rescue animals is to secretly kill them and dump them on the side of the road.
Your statemenst and some of the others here I believe are lazy statements as you have never taken the time to really research PETA.
They just make everything warm and fuzzy and it appeals to the masses that don't take the time to find out what this group really does.
There are some of us here that are very involved in animal welfare and very familiar with PETA, and can tell you they are not even remotely the good guys.
OK I'm going back to watching HD horseracing.
