What do you think of PETA?!
What do you think of PETA?
Basically, PETA convinced me to go vegetarian because of all their info on the meat industry. I don't believe in everything that they do so I'm not a member or anything. But I know some people totally support PETA out there and some hate them. So what do you think of them? And please, no stupid answers and don't you dare tell me to go back to eating meat. Once a vegetarian, always one. But I would greatly appreciate detailed answers on your opinion of PETA!!! Thanks!

I admire them for their dedication to what they believe in, but as in all organizations... at some point, somebody goes a bit gung ho and then the whole thing goes down the tubes.
A couple of nuts, and all of a sudden everyone thinks all V&V are wackjobs.
They HAD good intentions, but I think they have gone about it in the wrong way. You can not force people to change... beating them over the head with it will make them resist more.
Ashley, if you know about her, is definitely the posterchild for trying to change people just by screeching at them.
Once, at college, I had to rip my backpack away from an insane PETA member who was holding onto it, trying to make me listen about how meat was murder.
Good intentions, that have gone well beyond over-the-top and I personally think they are scaring away more people than they are converting.
