Did you know in the state of Kansas a greyhound is not a dog therefore they do not have to abide by the rules of the ASPCA? I contacted PETA about it to see what they were doing and they were up on it.. I give them kudos
Also Emory uses chimps for testing.. it took them years but they finally gave them AID's so they could see how it effected them.
I heart PETA for having the guts to do things I can't.

A lot of medical stuff is tested on animals first - how do you think we got organ transplants and most of the drugs.
Therefore I expect PETA members to a) not use modern medicine (including anasthetics); b) not take modern drugs c) not wear/eat anything animal - that included Uggs.
I agree that some animal testing is not necessary but I think that there are also occasions where testing is legitimate.
I don't agree with their tactics and I think that they turn off a lot of moderate people with their extreme methods and sheer unreasonablness of their PETArds. That said I do think that animal welfare is a legitimate topic to address.
N.B. This isn't a dig at you GAPeach, its just that you raised somethings that I wanted to address.
