You're saying that these events, which happened (and still do)

'rogue' members across the world who all happened to employ the

been made that disavowed these tactics, and called for those who
carried them out to be put in jail?
Or how about targeting children with graphic images or buckets of
blood? Yes, the best public discourse is carried out by targeting
children and scaring them.

Or how about PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk saying:
"Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we’d be against
it."

I don't know what PETA is like in your country, but over here they
are no more civilized than most radical anti-abortion groups, who
feel that they have The Truth, and are therefore justified in doing
Whatever It Takes to make others see The Truth. As a vegetarian and
not a Vegetarian, I hate getting lumped with these groups. I'm for
the ethical treatment of animals, but I don't want anyone telling me
whose ethics I have to use. Especially not people who value the life
of a lab rat over the life of a human being.
