there isn't enough text space to come up with anything really good.
cause it should say we fund terrorism (they openly fund groups that kill people that do medical research on mice, chimps etc. and burn down their labs with the scientists still inside)
and our co founder takes medicine made from animal biproducts because she has diabetes and chose animal cruelty over death

Do you have proof that they fund people who kill people? THey do fund groups who have caused damage due to arson, destruction of property, etc..., but I have not seen a case of them funding someone who was found guilty of murder.

Peta puts to sleep animals that are turned over to them that are too sick or injured to live a healthy life which is a lot because most the animals they take in are from abusive homes, research facilities, etc... It is in line with their ideology to do so. I am not a huge supporter of PETA. I am an animal rights advocate and often my views conflict with PETA's, but they do get a bit of bashing against them that is not true and undeserved, including the Penn and Teller show about them who gathered all their info from a group that is completely funded by fast food and the meat industry....

I find that most people that attack PETA are those that would attack any animal rights organization.
Yes, PETA crosses the line and can be viewed as an extremist organization. But the righties use them to paint each and every animal rights supporter. It's a great tactic because it works.

Say what you want about PETA, (they can be questionable) but KFC has one of the worst track records in the business.
The negative attention is rightly deserved.
I boycotted them years ago, I would encourage others to do the same.

I boycotted them because their product tastes like deep fried crap and you get fatter by inhaling the air in a two block radius

Got nothing against tasty animals and would argue for the need of animal protien. Just wish people would show respect.
The system in general is very flawed and we eat much too much meat. It should be a delicasy. Doing this in itself would ensure better treatment of the animals. But even we can't do this, we need better standards and rules.
The fast food industry in general is a culprit, but it extends to mom and pops and even fancy restaurants. If you wanna make a difference, boycott the biggest ones and watch them all follow suit.
Though I have been said I'm twisted for this, just because people don't like killing, I always say. If you can't kill your food, you shouldn't eat it.
Too many of us are protected by the illusion of the supermarket. I don't belive hunting is bad, as long as it's humane as possible. But if you're one of those people who is against hunting, but stocks up on the beef in the market, who are you really fooling?
You wanna eat a chicken? Snap it's neck or cut it's head off first.
I'm not being sarcastic or ugly here. I mean it. Respect and feel your sacrifise first.
And if your one of those really weird people who gets off on that. Not even saying enjoys a hunt, cause even that's understandable, but just likes killing and can't understand the animals pain... seek help.
For those of you who get it, that's where your meat comes from.
