Bonnie, I think the heart is in the right place but the head may not be at times. The ad showing a woman in a fur coat being attacked and beaten up is an example of that. Such tactics turn off many people to an otherwise good cause.

There is the Animal Defense Fund, in California - I think, that takes cases like these. I am glad to hear that the culprit has been charged with a felony and the authorities seem inclined to see that he is punished. Despite PETA's looney stunts, they are pretty good about ferreting out and publishing instances of animal abuse. I do animal stories for our local community radio station and have interviewed a lot of different people at PETA . And I do mean "different", as in wide array; there seem to be as many hard working pragmatic types, e.g. Jane Garrison the circus elephant expert, as well as some uncompromising "young Turks" in that organization. So I do support them in spite of some of their more exasperating tactics I think their web site shows some of their good work. www.peta.org Bonnie in WI
