I think as hunters, we are largely misinformed about the majority of PETA members. My fiancee is a member. She volunteered at the animal shelter and has always had a soft spot for puppies (and who doesn't?).

She always gave 20 bucks or so annually to PETA and the HUMANE SOCIETY, blindly thinking that her money went to spay/neuter/feed/maintain animal shelters for lost kitties and puppies. Little did she know that almost all of her donation was funnelled to the war on hunting.

Almost every PETA member I've ever met doesn't exactly love hunting, but most of them aren't "Anti-Hunting" per se. They simply aren't aware that their organization is an anti hunting group. They are donating because they feel bad for little puppies in cages, not because people in Maine are hunting black bears.

Now, we still donate to Human Society and PETA, but in accord with 401(C) of the Tax code, any tax deductible donation given to a non-profit can be specifically directed for its use. So, I specify that my $50 goes to spaying and neutering domesticated animals (cats and dogs). That is something that I agree with.

Really, PETA and The Humane Society are huge, ugly, anti-hunting monsters due to a loud MINORITY of their membership, not the average donor.

They market themselves as being a savior to all sad little puppies, but we are all aware that saving puppies is not their true aim. Most of their money comes from that marketing, and is then funnelled into the war on hunting.

Do you guys think I'm misinformed here, or is my impression on point?
