What is the deal with PETA picketing at the NFL head office in New York and calling for the suspension of Michael Vick following the indictment for dog fighting? Why do they always jump to conclusions about situations like this. First of all an indictment does NOT mean he has been covicted. No one knows all the facts about this case unless you were one of the investigators at the scene. They even don't have all the facts yet. I think he is guilty but who know, maybe he is not. I know every one is entitles to their own opinion and can legally picket but come on. If Vick gets convicted then picket. If he is convicted then he will surely get suspended. PETA is just wasting their time with this one. If they picket for this why the hell are't they in from of stadiums picketing about the hot dogs and hamburgers they sell?

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Extremist animal rights group that makes the newspapers constantly for their particular choice of methods.

Reports that they harm animals in order to then blame it on groups that they wish to villify.

Reports that "saved animals" have later been disposed of dead in dumpsters.

There are other that I don't recall.

I say "reports" because I do not know the veracity of these claims, and I do not know if they were ultimately convicted.

I wish we could round up all the PETA people and put them in a zoo. They are, after all, the last remaining hippies.

the stories about them don't seem to add up.
i'd say they are most likely victims themselves of biased reporting.

either that or psychopaths

Personally, I'd love to have the chance to see a hippy in real life. Maybe they could equip their habitat with a little tree-hut, a meadow filled with flowers and a flock of colorful parrots...

*wipes stars out of eyes* Well, seriously, it's a good idea, right? Beats sending them to prison, at least.

Most of the members probably have very little to do with the heavy stuff. PETA is probably structured much like the Mafia, with only the people on top knowing what's really going on.

i'm not gonna pretend to know much about it

what i can see is that there's a hugley disproportionte amount of hatred compared with their actions.
even their supposed actions.

which suggests to me that people are a little sensitive on the issue of the amount of pain and suffering they cause animals.

It's like everything, a few high profile individuals give the entire organization a bad name. I do not know if the bad behaviour is institutional, or just the acts of rogue elements.
