Am I the only one who is finding it harder to respect PETA?

PETA has once again gone over the top with this one. For the 2009 Westminster Dog Show, PETA protesters showed up dressed as the KKK to show that the AKC supports a “dominant bloodline.”

Now, I am all one for animal rights. I am against sport hunting, animal cruelty, and I believe Michael Vick deserves to rot in jail. But this has gone too far. Every time PETA has a decent persuasive argument, they go and ruin it with tactics like this. I wouldn’t mind it if they did something more direct and subtle, but they go out of their way to be radical. I don’t believe in killing animals for fur, but throwing buckets of blood on people (real or not) is crazy.

I have talked to people on both sides of the political spectrum and every one of them agrees PETA is going off the deep end. Right now, I find it very hard to respect and recognize them as an organization. To me, they’re just a bunch of radical idiots who don’t know how to properly persuade people to take their side.

Does anyone else agree, or do you believe they are fighting a righteous cause?
