I think PETA is both a great organization and a terrible one at the same time.

They are great... because they are the ones that got the animal rights thing going. If it weren't for them, I'm not sure if anyone would really even be thinking about humane treatment towards animals today. Prior to the 90s, it didn't really come across people's minds.

The bad part... PETA is known for doing extreme type protests to get attention. They start to lose respect by the public. And then other more diplomatic humane organizations like the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) get kind of lost in the mix. When people think about "humane groups" they think PETA and not HSUS. HSUS has a more diplomatic approach for trying to get things changed. They requests talks with companies who produce chicken eggs for instance. And work with them on ways where they can turn from battery-caged eggs to cage free eggs. And it works. Burger King is now switching to cage-free eggs.

I just wish the public would get off this idea that because you want to see more humane practices take over, that you aren't some animal rights nut. That is totally PETA's fault, though. So they are both a blessing to animal rights, and a curse.
