Who would she have to account to? There are no stockholders, as you say it's a non-profit organization. Do you think she has to account to her employees? How about her members? PETA does have follow rules about money accountability, and I'm not saying that she is misusing funds or living large off donations. In fact, she seems to live a very frugal existence, and is not at all motivated by money for her personal use. You say that they make no laws, however they are a powerful lobby that helps persuade lawmakers. You question of where is the campaign to make pets illegal? There is much to do before she would get this accomplished to be sure, but that is what she wants to see happen. I can't believe so many of you think we should just ignore her words. As for your statement a "single statement by a single person", she has made multiple statement of this, and Ingrid is PETA. I am bewildered so many of you choose to ignore her words. It's truly kind of frightening, and have you ever thought of the possibility of this becoming a reality, and her saying, "I told you this is what I wanted, how could I have made myself more clearer?"

Ingrid Newkirk is not a God, she is simply a human being with the same amount of power on her own as any single human being has. She has created a group who have more power than an individual as any group does. It is the group of people who make the changes- not one individual person. She does not have the ability to make people do things they don't want to do. PETA is operated on private donations- no donations means no PETA so yeah, I pretty darn sure that gets taken into consideration. I am bewildered myself that there is so much viciousness against a group who has done an enormous amount of good for animals based on an irrational fear that pets will be made illegal. Not "some good"- An amazing HUGE amount of good- About PETA >> Victories The only way pets would become illegal is if America supported that. Ingrid Newkirk can think it all day- it only happens if it is supported and I honestly can not imagine that ever happening.
