The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.
“Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels. ”

It would appear from your posts that you believe everything PETA does is propaganda and that you believe it is okay to do inhumane actions to animals.
I do not want to turn this thread away from Mars and the lack of respect they have for dogs. If you want to take your dogs to Banfield and feed them Ceasar dog food and give them a Greenie for a treat that is your right.
