I don't know if that was a rhetorical question or not, but for me, it's simply because they believe the end justifies the means. For example, they want people to adopt pets from shelters, and pounds, a very good message; however, they make a video showing a dog in a body bag, and say that's what happens when someone buys a pet from a breeder. I don't think people are going to adopt dogs because they see this video, it's just to make others feel guilty, maybe it will influence children, but not in a way that I would approve. This is just one of many examples, I've seen that uses bullying tactics to get their point across. They also don't seem to have much human regard, I don't like the way I've seen them treat humans, and I would call it abusive, but again, the end justifies the means, this is not a philosophy I endorse, it took me a long time getting there, but I truly do not believe the end justifies the means, and as many have quoted, it's the journey not the destination, that is more my particular philosophy now.

Nancy I don't know if I've ever mentioned this but I don't really care for okra at all. LOL, making a sad attempt at a joke. I don't agree with every single thing PETA does either but I do agree with most of what they do and certainly don't see them as abusive. I've actually never known an organization, a friend, a business or a political candidate who I agree with 100% either so like anything, I just have to weigh it all out and what is right for my own belief system- same as us all. I am with you all the way that the journey is as important as the destination.
