(In answer to your question after Tyrien's post, with semi-colons instead of commas) I see PETA disrupting the lives of normal human beings who are just going about being top-of-the-foodchain humans; using women in a degrading manner to further their goals; cheapening the existence of the human race; and just generally being a pain in the ass.
They show up to places and throw red paint (or pigs' blood?) on people wearing fur coats, which is destruction of personal property and can be construed as a physical assault.
They've hired female models to do ads for them. The ones I've seen were borderline pornographic.
They try to make us think that humans are somehow on the same level as any other animal. While I agree that we are not seperate nature and are animals ourselves, I do also believe that we above other creatures. (It's never an excuse for abuse of anything, of course)
If you ever see a hat that says "Got Beer?" on it, know that it was oriiginally a campaign launched by PETA to get people to stop drinking milk. If my source was correct, their specific target was teenagers, though I would verify that before I bought it.
Gr, just talking about PETA is making me irritable >_< . It doesn't help that I'm tired :P . Feel free to reply, but I won't be responding until the afternoon (PT). 'Til then?

I guess I don't know what "top-of-the-foodchain humans" means. Are you saying since humans are the most powerful an intelligent, we have the right to treat animals however we wish? If so, I would disagree.
Certainly I don't agree with spraying paint or blood on people, and if they do this, that is pretty terrible.
What do you mean about "using women in a degrading manner". I am sorry, just I don't know any details about what you are talking about. Do you mean ads where women are almost naked? Just out of curiousity, since that technique is used by a lot of fashion designers, do you not buy Guess? or Calvin Klein or other major designer brands because they degrade women in thier ads?
Never heard about the "got beer" campaign...but why would they want people to stop drinking milk?
