All of you that are sort of okay with PETA, I know you don't agree with their end goal, so why support them at all?
I don't see that as a major goal in anything they do. I think for the most part it's something people hear other's say and run wild with it.
You are certainly free not to support them, I've never given them money myself. However, while trying to find this huge agenda that you are so afraid of I found some things I didn't know and truthfully after spending some time researching for myself instead of listening to rumors, I am a lot more willing to support them. You might find this interesting for example- http://www.caringconsumer.com/products_cocacola.asp or this http://www.peta.org/about/victoryItem.asp?VictoryID=397 or this http://www.peta25.com/animalRescues.asp. You can disagree with PETA's methods but I am not sure how any animal lover can say "it doesn't make a difference what good they do" . Here are some of the things they are working to accomplish- http://www.peta.org/actioncenter/actionalerts.asp. These are the things that don't matter to you? You can't really feel that way, it's heartless.
