Good Lord, what would it take to educate you about them at this point.
A brick over the head?

Are you outraged because they are trying to eliminate Pit Bulls?


No. I am outraged because their ultimate goal is to eliminate ALL
DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. And it really doesn't take much in terms of
reading between the lines and doing a little critical thinking to
see it.

Coincidentally there was recently a discussion about PETA on a blog I
sometimes frequent. I found these passages to be relevant to this
discussion:

Ingrid Newkirk has had a number of things to say about pets, The interview
in Harpers back in Aug 1988 pretty well sums it up-

"Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by human
manipulation."

and


See Newkirk's Newsday Feb 1988 quote:

"In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of
pets altogether."
