I know Ann.

And the CCF IS the 'PETA Kills Animals' campaign. Nobody else is behind it- it's all CCF. Here is an interesting article about Richard Berman, the lobbiest who started the CCF using funding from Phillip Morris Tobacco. Center for Consumer Freedom or Deception? You Decide.

"PETA’s recent successes in gaining fast-food industry concessions for more humane conditions for farm animals have sent ripples of fear through the food and beverage service industry. About the same time that McDonald’s buckled to PETA’s demands, Richard Berman changed his front group’s name and stepped up his attacks."

They attack peta because peta protects animals from greedy heartless businesses that put $$ above the most basic human compassion.

Another interesting quote; The president of the American Federation of Teachers referred to the CCF's leader as "a shameless lobbyist who has shilled for pesticide, alcohol and tobacco companies."

They aren't just after PETA. They are a very scary group.
