It is you who made an offensive statement, in my opinion. You said this about me, when you posted the PETA article: "This is offered only to prove blind loyalty to any organization is not worth your effort. There are compromises everyone, every single person or organization makes, to get by." What you posted seemed like a hit piece by that right-wing group, not an objective article. It will be interesting to find out the truth about the allegations in the article. But you assumed that I had blind loyalty to PETA, which I don't. You certainly don't know me well enough to say that, and it isn't true. You also assumed that all the facts in the article were correct, without seeing who wrote it or considering that they might have their own interests. So we have an organization full of idealistic dogooders that is trying to save animals' lives in general, pitted against an organization representing a lot of very right-wing interests, specifically the big meat companies and agricultural companies that profit from factory farming, and are concerned that the animal rights movement threatens their profits. Just looking at that equation I would still say that PETA's moral position has a lot more integrity. If you believe PETA is full of hypocrites and criminals, that is your opinion, but it certainly is a biased one, and you should expect that not everyone will agree with you.
