I am a realist, I care deeply about the environment and I take steps to not only conserve but improve natural conditions for all living creatures. What bothers me about PETA is that its such an extremist group. I like animals and I believe that they should be treated humanely, but there are SOME in that group that regard animals higher than other humans. My thought is that the first priority should be to treat humans humanely.
I think improving the human condition should be the core goal. I am infuriated when I see people who completely dedicate themselves to crimes against animals and they are completely ambivalent to human crimes that are being commited everyday.
PETA has to remember that humans are animals as well and if we are going to treat animals ethically we should follow Darwin's theory and start with those most like us...for those who missed that...other humans.
