Why would you let your opinion of Peta work against all the other organizations that are fighting factory farming. This isn't about Peta it is about the farmed animals.

check out PETA
I would suggest you check out the PETA website. They will keep you informed about what is going down with animals. They have gone undercover and filmed many an abuse case and brought the abusers to jail or reported them to the govt. Chickens are electrocuted while in their cages, they are sprayed with water and then wires are touched to the cages. They also are boiled alive. Pigs and cows are kept in tiny corrals where they dont even have room to sit down or lie down or turn around. These are factory farms, not the old time mom and pop farm. Baby cows, i.e., veal, are taken from their mother before four months of age and killed for veal. Slaughter houses slit the throats of cattle. The cattle are supposed to die, some dont and are hooked upside down on conveyor belts. They move along getting skilled, moaning and twisting in their pain. Some farms neuter animals just by cutting their sexual organs, without anesthesia. Cows wait to be herded onto trucks, pushed onto trucks, the ones that fall are left to die without water or food, lying there with broken bones, caused by the herding into the trucks - this last case was filmed by undercover PETA workers and the company herding the cows was fined.
I'm no PETA supporter. Still know cruelty when I see it, though.

You're right, I am getting my PETA fanatics mixed-up.
