What I can tell you is that the PETA woman would not have liked me very much. Chances are, in fact, she would have hated me before it was all over.
You sound like me lol. We don't really have a problem here. When I took my granddaughter to the zoo in Jacksonville I had my first encounter with one. The woman was nuts. She kept running from cage to cage and making a scene. My son dragged me off. I got into it with her when she started yelling at one of the people in my group:')
