Let's get controversial again. I was reading that many people have an objection to PETA because they euthanize a lot of animals. So I went looking for answers.
The first thing I found was in the movie Specism, which I highly recommend. There is a business (I forget what it is called) that goes around bad mouthing activist organizations. Here is how it works. Someone doesn't like the message an activist organization is putting out, it hurts their bottom line, let's say animal abuse in meat production or mink farming. Rather than address the issue they hire a third party.
It is the job of this party to blacken the name of the activist assn any way they can. Then anyone can question the ethics and guiding principles of such an organization, such as PETA.
I found this on it too:
I find this all compelling. Instead of dealing with abuse issues it is much starter to hurt the accuser by tarnishing their image. I must remember this, brilliant and horrible idea.
