I got this off a post over in the NAHC bulitten board. It is a petition to take the tax exempt status of peta. After you sign it there is 7 facts about peta. If I screwed up and cant get the sight to work here are the facts.



1 PETA’s leaders have stated repeatedly that their goal is “total animal liberation.” This means no meat, no milk, no pets, no zoos, no circuses, no fishing, no leather, no wool, no hunting, no fishing, and no animal-based research for lifesaving medicines. 1

2 PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. 2

3 PETA funds the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine 3, an animal rights organization that presents itself as an unbiased source for nutritional information and has links to animal-rights violence. 4

4 PETA has used their contributors’ tax-exempt donations to fund the North American Earth Liberation front, an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for firebombs and death threats. 5

5 PETA regularly targets kids as early as 6 years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda. 6

6 PETA spends less than one percent of its $21 million budget actually caring for animals. 7

7 PETA has repeatedly attacked groups like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, for conducting animal testing to find cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. 8

excellent post Andy O

This is something everyone should sign to stop peta's tax free status--which is total BS--the moderators should keep this at the top of every forum on this website
