If you ask me, supporting organisations like PETA is one of the most counter-productive actions that any true animal lover can do. PETA have shown, time and time again, that they put the acquisition of money and their twisted animal rights beliefs before any issue that contributes to the valid and worthwhile causes of conservation or animal welfare. They are primarily interested in forcing their twisted views onto society, regardless of the negative effects that it has on animals and wildlife and regardless of how pointless and unworkable their goals really are. PETA is all about making themselves feel good with no authentic regard for animals.
Animal liberation has no place in the conservation debate and animal liberationists have, time and time again, sabotaged and attacked working and effective conservation programs. They do this because they don’t like some of the tools of conservation, such as population management, culling and hunting. While they oppose conservation programs that use these tools they provide absolutely no workable or viable alternatives. They somehow think that they can stop population control and management and, miraculously, everything will turn out OK. However, time and time again we have seen how this ‘hands off’ approach does not work and is certain to bring about catastrophic results. The simple point, that makes supporting PETA a waste of money and effort, is that animal liberation is NOT conservation.
