I have not read all these arguments back and forth, back and forth, etc.
Quite frankly I don't care either way why they do what they do, but they are complete radicalists who make me ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS. The only thing that I would ever use them for is to throw their name around so that the folks I'm trying to accomplish something (animal mistreatment-wise) will take me seriously.
PETA outright disgusts me. For instance... take a peek at this video...

Be warned, it is rather disturbing and shows dead, skinned animals.
They're using dead, skinned animals in a protest to have people not kill and skin animals. DEAD, SKINNED ANIMALS. Does this make any freakin' sense?
They make me so mad my heart pumps and I shake.
Believe me, if I could start some sort of organization that would pick up as much steam as their psychotic network has, I would - and I would make it an ethical, safe haven for any animal - ANY animal. I'd have networks world-wide and every single animal on this earth that needed help would be given the chance to live out a normal life in as close to their natural environment as possible. Unfortunately, there just isn't any hope for something like that any time soon, so I'll just keep trying to do my best and drag more sickly bettas home when I can. We can't save them all, but we sure do make a diff to the ones we do save.
