It really makes you wonder, doesn't it? Maybe they just don't pay any attention at all to what PETA stands for? I have no idea. It's ridiculous.
The one that gets me is Alicia Silverstone - huge PETA supporter, pit bull owner.
I can see the folks that say "cure this, but don't test on animals" - I get that.
But doing promotion for people that want to walk into your house and kill your dog?
