PETA bases a lot of their arguments on Peter Singer's "ethical"
teachings.  Singer is also the guy that proposes that parents of babies
born with severe disabilities be allowed to decide in the first month of
life whether the baby is allowed to live or not.  Not Dead Yet protested
his appointment as Chair of Bioethics at Princeton 4 years ago.  He's
still there, but on sabbatical this year.  Singer's mother has
Alzheimer's, which Singer holds as another category of people who
society in general, and their families specifically, have the right to
decide whether their quality of life is sufficient to justify their life
continuing.  Singer says, that it's a choice he would not make for his
own mother.

They achieve nortoriety by generating attention-grabbing headlines, and
alienating more people than they attract, I'm sure.

They rather remind me of the 60s-style radicals, and they are as
ineffectual, in my opinion.

This is monstrous! Are PETA people just anti-human? It seems that way to
me.
