Ah more misinformation Ingrid Newkirk does not have diabetes. Another member does I believe she is a VP. I don't blame you though because I did a search on it and a lot of websites have that wrong.

Or how pet ownership is disgusting and sick.

They don't believe that at all. Well they don't like calling it ownership. Many ranking PETA members have companion animals. If they thought it was sick they wouldn't adopt out animals to homes. They believe in a perfect world that animals would all live in the wild in their natural habitat and we would just be observers.
Here's PETA's position on "pets"

The problem is, PETA takes funding and charity from animal lovers (who usually own pets) and never quite fully discloses their position on animal rights (ie, absolutely, positively, and unabashadly equal in every sense...pets = slaves).

It's funny that PETA pretty clearly outlines their beliefs on their website, so all these people would have to do is actually go to
www.peta.org before they donate.

This is to not even mention how their disruption of Edward Taub's neurological experiments in the early 1980's set neuroscience (and the treatments of OCD and other ailments) back about 20 years. Thanks for the alzeimers PETA!

Taub was convicted on six counts of animal cruelty which was overturned on a loophole. That state laws can't be applied to federally funded research. The NIH cut his funding after the case.
And finally PETA will never be labeled an ecoterrorist organization. It is far too intelligently run to ever cross the line. If it is ever labeled one then the US gov't would be crossing the line. They have been center of FBI investigations for years that never yielded anything. Also the IRS has investigated them several times and also never came up with anything.
