I don't support PETA in any shape or form. I haven't researched them in particular but from what I've seen its a no go area. Especially the bit about setting free all dogs/cats ect? I think it was that anyway.
However what I don't like at all is when any other group or people try to defend animal right they get labelled as PETA. Just because they belive in animal right it doesn't mean they are part of PETA.
As far as my own beliefs go I believe all living things to be equal, I'm a vegetarian and in a lot of cases I would value an animals life over a human, there are just too many horrible people in this world
. I've been labelled as a 'crazy' veggie, tree hugging hippie and have had my beliefs picked on countless times. I try not to let it bother me but when people label me into the same group as PETA that bothers me because I am no such thing.
Lastly as for the testing on animals, no I don't agree with it and like Amstaffer said there are plenty of people in prison who could be tested on. I've always thought it, does it make me cold and heartless? maybe in some peoples opinions but murderers, rapist, child/animal abuses don't deserve anything more in my opinion. It costs a lot of money to keep people like that in prison and if many of them are willing why not let them.
