38. No, PeTA is to ALF as DNC is to ACT-UP but...
their enemies do *exactly* what our enemies do to US!

PeTA has been tarred with the 'extremist' brush for decades. But they are NOT the Animal Liberation front or any other group like that. And one of their FIRST principles is not to harm ANY living being... *including* human beings.

We are liberals, NOT "communists" not "radicals", we don't "hate America" and we don't "support the terrorists"...

PeTA takes what is an unpopular stance in that they confront those who use and harm and exploit animals... the VERY same way Greenpeace confronts those who use and harm and exploit the environment!

Did you know that the US government has OFFICIALLY labeled PeTA as a terrorist organization?!

That means that if they get their hands on PeTA's emebership lists, those of us who are, or have EVER corresponded with them are now at risk under the PATRIOT act?

PeTA IS NOT A TRRORIST ORGANIZATION, but the current mindset labels it such! And when you read the accusations against them, REMEMBER what was done to Greenpeace, to Karen Silkwood, to other organizations under COINTELPRO and **THINK** instead of just react!

Thanks!
