Why on earth would people compassionate enough to care about animal rights want to experiment on humans? Because they are whack jobs who would put animals over humans. That is my understanding of that organization. They do quasi-legal things to prove their points, which often are only an emotional response to legal activities. They are outraged and feel everyone else should be too. So they justify their actions, legal and illegal, by the ends achieved. PETA is way too much a whacko group for me to have anything but disinterest at best, and spite at worst, for the very idea of their "organization."

Why on earth would people compassionate enough to care about animal rights want to experiment on humans? Why would people compassionate about the earth spike trees and seriously injury people who are just out there trying to earn a living? Why would they firebomb vehicles and buildings and endanger not only the people who might be in them but also the rescue personnel who have to put out the fires? I find fanaticism scary in ANY of its manifestations. Whether it be Islamic fundamentalists or animal rights radicals or right wing extremists or whatever. Fanaticism is scary, no matter what the cause it claims to serve.
