This is not about animals and hasn't been for a long time. Just like so many causes that began with good intentions PETA has become a means for fundraising, nothing more. Often the target seems undeserving of the attack...but only until you take into consideration that this appeal is to the fringe donor. Someone who needs red meat to pry the checkbook open. If it didn't work....they wouldn't do it. When you see it for what it is...a shakedown...it makes perfect sense. |
