PeTA Terrorism

PeTA a Terrorist Group? On page 4, the USDA lists PETA under the section labeled “Terrorist Threat,” listing it alongside the notorious domestic terrorist groups Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, and Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty. (The USDA removed the form from its website yesterday after we started spreading the word. But you can find a PDF copy preserved here.) ”

I've put my Pastor Niemöller hat on for this one.  On the one hand, I'm leery when gummint, most especially this gummint, starts putting people on lists.  On the other, PeTA is not just a collection of misguided pinheads who like rats, they're violent True Believers for whom this a a religion.  Unless you don't think throwing blood on women wearing fur, or breaking into laboratories & destroying property constitutes violence. PeTA members are as big a canker blossom as this nation has on its backside.  Founder Ingrid Newkirk's DNA [“Humans have grown like a cancer. We're the biggest blight on the face of the earth.”] runs through offshoot Animal Liberation Front, "which have claimed responsibility for hundreds of crimes and acts of terrorism, including arson, bombings, vandalism and harassment, causing more than $100 million in damage." Bottom line ... screw 'em; I'm not now, nor ever will be a member.  Snort.
