Friday, I think that the reason that PETA over-steps what some might consider "civil boundaries" is rooted in the chronic grief and frustration they experience while trying to be heard. After awhile, it's like: "Ok, gloves are OFF." It's a shame. I'm not saying it's a GOOD way to conduct themselves, but I can certainly understand the frustration factor.

I agree that their tactics are largely not "good", frustration level being high or not. Once again, the ends do not justify the means.
I don't think anyone posting in this thread is in favor of cruelty to animals. In fact, I'd wager that to a person, most of us are very much against it, but neither are they in favor of the tactics that PETA and organizations like them are using to promote awareness and prevent cruelty to animals. There are far better ways to get their message out than by shocking and alienating their intended audience. |
