"No I'm not a member of PETA but I don't think they are a terrorist organization."
Then you are NOT paying attention, my FRiend.
"Description: Animal rights group repeatedly using civil disobedience contrary to IRS Revenue Ruling 75-384 and funding eco-terrorists directly by contribution (See PETA's 2001 Form 990 tax return, Page 28, for listing of direct donation to North American Earth Liberation Front, an FBI-declared domestic terrorist organization) or indirectly by paying lawyers for suspects in animal rights crime. Uses unlawful means to persuade others to adopt vegetarian diet and to cease all use of animals.
PETA was involved with arsonist Rodney Coronado of the Animal Liberation Front, who torched a Michigan State University animal research laboratory. Coronado sent PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk two packages, one before the arson, one after the arson. When police searched the premises where Coronado sent the packages, they found false identification for Coronado and for PETA co-founder Alex Pacheco, to be used as part of a burglary to release captive animals, suggesting close relations between PETA leaders and ALF crimes."

Read a little, learn a lot.
FWIW, PETA has released mink from commercial farms, rats from the lab rat farm and calves from a veal/dairy operation in my area, alone. The majority of those animals died horrible deaths from starvation and being eaten by other animals and being run over in the road. Gee. That's HUMANE. Not.
PETA and their minion groups destroy the PRIVATE PROPERTY of others and rob them of their livelihood. To me, that qualifies as a terrorist organization. The mink farmers in my area lost over $300,000.00 worth of mink in one night alone. Could you afford a hit like that to your business? I couldn't.
What kind of business are you in? Imagine someone coming and burning down your accounting office, or machine shop or candy store or daycare center or horse stable or computer repair shop in the night because they didn't like what you did for a living. Would you, or would you not feel "terrorized?"
Does that help give you some perspective? Hope so. :)
You're right, thanks for enlightening me.
