Will PETA be the next ACORN? Conservative blogs and websites have been working to uncover a scandal at PETA which has the potential to destroy the credibility of the radical animal-rights organization.
For example, at BigGovernment.com, Mary Grabar has written an expose on the organization. As she notes,
(PETA's) strategies come "straight out of Saul Alinksky's Rules for Radicals." Alinsky's strategies, adopted by various "social justice" groups, (most notoriously ACORN) include public ridicule, loud and shocking protests, the undermining of reform efforts already underway, and "behind-the-scenes" pressures. Consecutively, PETA employs more subtle methods by providing consumers alternatives on its web page and through its online mall, which offers the predictable array of merchants of vegan dog treats, holistic healing services, a dating service for Democrats, and a magazine for homosexuals. As an alternative to the glue traps sold at Lowe's (which supporters are encouraged to boycott altogether), consumers can find many mouse-friendly traps. While PETA encourages supporters to boycott Iams pet food, PETA's website offers vegan dog food and treats for sale through "Business Friends" companies. Companies that give a cut to PETA include Pet Guard, Pet Food Direct, Entirely Pets, Only Natural Pet Store, Evolution Diet, Karmavore Vegan Shop, V-Dogfood, and Wow-Bow Distributors.

PETA kills more adoptable pets in their so-called animal shelters than any other shelter.
They are monsters.
I was not aware of their high rate of kills, around 90 percent or more, until Rush mentioned this on his show.
We all know what nuts PETA has, but the killing of adoptable pets? That is sicker than sick.
PETA hasn’t had an credibility for a long time. Way back when, 20+ years ago, they were sincere and actually working in furtherance of their publicly stated objectives (which were too radical for my taste, and I’ve been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for ethical reasons since my early teens, but I can respect people who sincerely hold beliefs different from my own). But for well over 10 years now, they’ve been a wholesale fraud, and at least some of their local chapters have been conducting organized criminal activity.
....and she's the brains of the bunch.
