"I would no more have a world without PETA, than I would a world
without Cancer research."

See these are the mind games we play with ourselves. This statement
is comparing one with the other when there is no comparison at all.
PETA compared to cancer research, come on! We do not have to have
both or none. Might we just be better off with no PETA and lots of
cancer research? As you said, many, I will say most, of PETA has
become radical. The same thing can be said about environmentalists.
Yes ethical treatment of animals and some environmentalism is good as
it equates to good and ethical management of our resources. But what
both of these organizations have primarily become (just look at their
efforts and publications) ARE radical extremists.

I just shake my head when people talk about animal rights and ethics
in the biological sciences, and then in the next discussion will
argue to the death for for pro choice. It just shows how backwards
and upside down and hypocritical our value system has become. We
have blurred the line between right and wrong so much that we don't
know which is which.
