Iz true Lar. But where do you think PETA funds come from? When I was a Tx state employee, PETA was not even on the list. But, I could give to the local animal shelter.
To me, it's rarely either/or. If we survive at the expense of irresponsibly un-neutered or un-spayed dogs or cats (who die by the thousands daily and are the subjects of my OWN profession's horrific treatment and experimentation), where does that leave us? Or, what does that make us?
More rhetorical than anything else.........

(People For The Ethical Treatment Of Humans) You get great people like Bono trying to get help for millions of people being killed mercilessly of AIDS, starvation, war, famine, in Africa, and then you get Paul McCartney(sp?) protesting Kentucky Fried Chicken! Sorry...but let's get *real* here!
