In all seriousness, you give PETA way too much credit for being reasonable. Remember, they consider pet ownership to be slavery and equate animals with humans - literally.
Watch the Penn and Teller Bullsh** episode on PETA. It’s hilarious.
I will give PETA some credibility when one of them throws himself between a LION and a rather tasty Gazelle. The PETA peson exclaims <”the poor little animal,” while the Lion exclaims, “Oh Boy, LUNCH!!”
Yes, I laugh at PETA, but agree with them regarding deliberate and vicious cruelty to any animal.
