I don't agree with 100% of what they do -- but -- that's the case (for me) with pretty much everything. Still, I support what they do in terms of medical testing, automobile crashing, animal cruelty campaigns, animal cruelty investigations etcetera (there are many more).

I *do not* support letting animals out of cages at dog shows. Nor do I support all of their campaigns.

Like the general public, I think PETA members do become frustrated by some of the more alienating tactics. I think there is also a lot of frustration about the seemingly eternal misconceptions about PETA. As a member, I do let PETA know if I think they have crossed a line - and I think their members do speak out, bc PETA does respond.

As I've said many times before, I understand why a lot people won't support PETA and I respect it -- I would just ask that those same people try to see the other side of the coin and respect the fact that others choose to give their support. We may be in different camps, but there is no reason that we shouldn't be able to sit around the fire and talk calmly and respectfully about our differences.
