Now I see where you are coming from. My interpretation of the PETA thread was a different one and thats where I was coming from. I thought we had a few heated posts back and forth and then we both calmed down and it was all over. I expressed a desire to educate my self on something I didn't know enough about (PETA) and you offered to help there. When I posted to this thread it was for that reason alone. Believe me I don't want to go around and around arguing any more either. As I said earlier I have only ever had negative experiences with people who claim to represent PETA (and if you would like the details so you know where I am coming from on the matter I am happy to PM them to you). I like to think I am a fairly open minded person and after I realized I was having a knee jerk reaction to the fact you work for PETA I thought it best to ask you to enlighten me on the good the organization does. I have looked up PETA on the internet and the majority of the sites are about bad stuff. Its most likely that bad news travels faster then good. So I was asking you for the good stuff because you seem to be in a good position to supply them.

I highly doubt that you or anyone on this site will change their opinion of PETA based on anything I say.

but I think I deserve a chance to change my mind. I am expressing a desire to correct some misgivings about the organization, all I am asking is you help me with that.

It just appears to me that you came back to this thread for suspect reasons. It's funny, first I get attacked for posting ONLY to PETA threads, and now I'm getting ripped on for NOT posting to them. Make up your minds already.

It was not my intent to come into this thread to attack you or anything of that sort. For the record I would like it noted that I never once attacked you for not posting in other threads. I am well aware that others did, but I did not. And I did not rip on you for not posting in this one. Since the subject had been reopened and I still had a desire to learn about PETA I asked that you please supply the links you had previously said you would.

I have read thought about half the links you posted. I wish I could say I was shocked at the things people do to animals, but I worked for a Humane Society for quite a while and helped with the cruelty investigations on occasion so I have seen what some of these so called humans can do to animals.

You chose to reopen this discussion, after already knowing what a bitch I am. I suspect you were looking for a fight to start with, or you wouldn't have reopened this thread. Sorry, that's what you get for pushing the issue

This came in while I was typing the above message. Never once have I said you were a Bitch, never once have I implied it. I have stated my motives above and if you still feel I was looking for a fight then I cant change that.
