I'm reading more things now, trying to see what is truth and what is not. Wow...just...wow. If these things are correct, then I need to do more research on the organizations I donate money to.




In 2000, when the Associated Press first noted PETA's Kervorkian-esque tendencies, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that "actually taking care of animals costs more than killing them".

"PETA claims it engages in outrageous media-seeking stunts "for the animals." But which animals? Carping about the value of future two-piece dinners while administering lethal injections to puppies and kittens isn't ethical. It's hypocritical -- with a death toll that PETA would protest if it weren't their own doing."
