Can I get an AMEN?!
Sure PETA has some good ideas (no fur, no declawing of cats, cosmetics not tested on animals) , but they carry it to an extreme and as a group they are a bunch of fruitcakes.
I believe in animal rights (to an extent, but I will not donate a dime to them! I will donate my time, goods and money to my local no-kill animal shelter
Still my favorite acronym for PETA:
People Eating Tasty Animals! 
(Relax, I have a sister and one of my best friends who are vegetarians)

I'm sorry, you can call me ignorant, but this is how I feel about these PETA idiots:
1) There's a food chain. We're at the top. We eat animals. Unless you're stupid, animals don't eat us.
2) Certain animals are here for US. Give me a break, what is a cow for besides a steak, a leather jacket, and a baseball glove? If they're not our pork chops and bacon, what else do pigs do beside wallow in their own filth? Sure, going into the wild to kill an elephant or mistakenly
3) Get over yourselves. Asking the Packers to change their name because it's offensive to cows? Asking the winner of the Indy 500 to drink soy milk because of the same thing? Sure, maybe slaughtering a pig is a bit much, but this leads me to my next point.
4) SOLVE EVERY HUMAN PROBLEM FIRST. Solve murder, rape, poverty, homelessness, terrorism, then MAYBE I'll give a rat's ass. Some PETA fudgepacker couple years back tried to tell me "If we don't fight for these animals, who will?" Well, I care more about my family in the PI who's in danger of getting killed by Abu Sayaf more than I do that someone is killing hundreds of cows to make food for OUR good.
