I would add that mis-information is being put out by all the mentioned organizations...PETA, HSUS and CCF. What one thinks of any of these groups doesn't make their statements any more or less true. As I mentioned in my first post, I think anyone should research, pro and con, any of these groups if they wish to support them. I try to keep an open mind and it isn't mandatory for me to support (or not) any group to either accept or reject their statements.

Purple: Wow, really? Never? Well gosh, I feel pretty special then.

Pink: I don't know how you form your opinions but I research before I form mine. If an organization is truthful and supports my views then I like them. If they lie then I don't. Therefore there isn't an instance where what I think doesn't make something true or not.

If that's truly how you understand the article, I don't know what else to say. All I can do is refer you to the site that explains the Asilomar Accords again. It makes it very clear why that article could not have been written by any shelter- not even remotely close actually.

You absolutely have every right to support organizations you feel comfortable with. Your point of view has more power if it is based on fact and not outright lies from a propaganda group though.
