Brig, garnet posted a link (Lost now?) to the southern VA PETA office. I think it's the one where she works. It described and showed(pictures) a lot of great work they do at a local level. Rescue, spay/neuter, free doghouses and a lot of other useful work. You would never guess it's the same organization that we see in the national media or the IotD. Garnet feels those things are a false image, ie lies. She sees local good things, we see international stupidity.
One of the things that immediately raises my hackles, and I don't think I'm alone here, is anyone or group starts telling me what to do. I don't care if it's good for me or not, don't preach. If you say that I'm wrong in my actions/beliefs, and only a fool would do/think that, you've lost any chance of convincing me.
Finally, any discussion of PETA heads off into the "to eat, or not to eat" minefield and whether leather seats in your car are a crime against nature. The good things PETA may do is overshadowed in that arena.
