No, truth is anyone that supports PETA supports terrorist activities. You do so by your words - at the very least. Read this key phrase then try & defend your precious PETA: "In testimony before the House Resources subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health, Richard Berman of the CCF detailed how some contributions to seemingly benign groups, such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), find their way into terrorist hands. According to Berman, PETA gave a direct contribution of $5,000 in fiscal 2000 to the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) to "support their program activities." Several witnesses, including James F. Jarboe, section chief in the counterterrorism office of the FBI, testified that ELF and its sister organization, the Animal Liberation Front, have "emerged as a serious terrorist threat" and "have committed more than 600 criminal acts" since 1996. While activists proclaim in communiqués and on Websites to resort to violence as a matter of conviction, former ELF spokesman Craig Rosebraugh checked his convictions at the hearing-room door, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights more than 50 times during the hearing. In fact, he only answered two questions: his name and his nationality." insightmag.com When you support terrorists, you are also a terrorist!

<<I keep saying that yes PETA has some loony members who give it a bad name, but there is a message beneath the high-profile loony-ness that you are missing.>> How can you continue to defend PETA when money given to them might be used to put animals to death? How can you speak up for them when they give organizational funds for the legal defense of ALF members? How can you justify anything said by a group that considers animal life above human life?

Has PETA Funneled More Money to Domestic Terrorist Groups? ( PETA Exposed for Reporting Irregularities to the IRS) Report by Sierra Times Published 05. 2. 02 at 10:42 Sierra Time Bellevue, Washington - The Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise (CDFE) exposed new irregularities in IRS charitable group reporting by the embattled Norfolk, VA-based animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on Wednesday. The irregularities involve PETA’s failure to identify recipients of monetary grants and donations for two consecutive years during the late 1990s. CDFE’s findings form the basis of a new complaint, filed today with the IRS, urging the agency to revoke PETA’s privileged non-profit tax exempt status. (cont) sierratimes.com
