Again, I want to recommend the HBO documentary. HBO: I Am An Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA. Although you've said you've seen it twice, there is plenty of proof in it to back up the statements made here today. Peta says it believes in the ethical treatment of animals, but has no problem deceiving other humans. They believe in infiltrating groups, posing as friends to others and using information they have obtained for their own purposes., an example of this would be the turkey exposé. Ms. Newkirk said in the documentary that she did not believe people should be allowed to have pets. This was slavery. Ms. Newkirk told a pet owner that the dog was sick and needed to see a vet. The owner released the pet in hopes that the dog would be receive treatment. The owner was notified that the dog had heartworms and was euthanized. I can't remember every detail in the documentary, but it sickened me as much if not more than Oprah's puppymill story. While Oprah's story on puppymills didn't reveal to me a situation of which I was not aware, the HBO documentary really opened my eyes. Peta really frightens me.
