PETA is very controversial, to say the least. I do donate to PETA when I can, I have learned alot through them about veganism and animal rights. I just dont agree with everything they do, but then who does? I will support almost any charity that helps animals, but there are some you have to watch out for. Like the ones that actually support hunting, but they say they are for saving lives?   I also follow IDA, get emails from Dawnwatch daily, donate to the HSUS yearly, but really like to help support local humane societies. I feel more can be said about PETA, but it belongs in the PETA group.

Thanks for the great list of animal organizations.

I saw the PETA link and I was wondering if you could explain them to me a little better.  Lately I've noticed that there is a lot of controversy going on with them.  I haven't had the time to read all of the literature on them as that would probably take awhile, but I was wondering if you know what this is all about?
