Peta only encourage leafletting and peaceful protests
Animals rights activists who go beyond that are extremists that are worse than those they campaign against.

They are not affiliated with Peta.org

Ah, US vs UK Peta have very different approaches.
I've heard some very disturbing things about the US one.

But as I said before, violent extremists are worse than those they campaign against, I believe in everything having a right to live and not be abused, so I'm hardly going to be on his side.

Not having a dig at you
You seem to know your stuff. It just scares me the number of people who will blindly give their money to an organisation like peta US and not realise quite how it will be used. peta US have done a very good job of putting a media friendly face on what is actually a rather unsavoury organisation (much like the BNP have tried to do, luckily they found it impossible to stop their tourette's like racist outbursts and ruined the illusion.)

I wouldn't give money to Peta US without knowing what they spend it on
And recommend anyone else do the same.

I put pennies in the collection box of people who try to stop the trade of rare birds, foxhunting, bear baiting, and things like that.

I would never condone someone hurting another person for political views.
If we can't sit down and come to a logical agreement on such things then the human race is utterly fucked.

current evidence
suggests that we as a race can't sit down and come to a logical agreement over anything and much prefer blowing each other up to sitting down, so we probably are, as you say, utterly fucked.

it's not very peaceful
when you have some hippy shouting in your ear with a megaphone at 9 in the bloody morning.
