PETA calls themselves activists. But when you try to win people to your cause by flying a plane over a park telling all who are in the park that they imprison animals, you go from being an activist to a fanatic(read that story here). When you stop trying to gain sympathy and instead instill a violent message, then I’m sorry you no longer deserve to call yourself an activist anymore than the right wing wackos who protest outside of the funerals of Service Men and Women deserve to call themselves Christians. Sorry for the rant, but I read the story about PETA then this story, and you really have to wonder if PETA will ever get their heads out of their asses and realize that they and Sea World are really on the same side…albeit in different spectrums but the same side none the less.
