They are over the top. I am against cruelty to anything or anyone (except ABBA fans lol j/k) but I do think that these 'do gooders' don't put a whole lot of thought into their actions. They are emotionally motivated and when you are overly emotional in your thinking you abandon rationality and this is where the danger comes in.
I also don't think that converting the entire human race into vegans is going to help the cause either. I do agree that cutting down on meat and wastage in general is the way to go but I mean.. Come on people.. Meat is a choice and if you enjoy eating it that does not make you a barbaric person. They want you to not use leather clothing or wool from sheep etc.. Were these animals not created for us to use as well as to look after? For those that are biblical it is even written in the Bible that consumption of meat is not a sin etc.. (no, I am not biblical but I have read the Bible)
I guess what I'm saying is that I agree with you on the PETA folk not being very brainy and their shock tactics do more repulsion than draw folk to the cause. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS from Tuesday, June 23, 2009 1:23:38 PM)

The PETA people are idiots. When I went to Michigan State, they broke into a building housing minks. The minks weren't being used for research, but I don't remember why they were there. The morons released them IN THE WINTER IN MICHIGAN!! Needless to say, all the minks died...... They actually thought that was better than being in cages??
Where is that common sense shot I ordered?

Guid, I agree with you. Animal abusers should belong at the pit of hell along with Dahmer, Manson, etc.
The one thing I saw from PETA recently was abusing Pres. Obama for killing a fly. Who likes flies? And How many Billion of them are there!
One gone wont be missed! HAAAA!!!!!!

At least the damage is somewhat contained by the electric fence.
