PETA (controversy)

Oh, I agree.

Those in the lower ranks and the general public think they're supporting the humane treatment of animals, when all they're really doing is helping to forward the agendas of HSUS/PETA.

If people really want to help, like you said, they should volunteer their time, or donate money and materials to state and local shelters/rescues.

I'm all for the ASPCA and the state SPCAs. They're the true voice for the animals.

I completely agree...and yet they are the ones struggling with funding to keep helping the animals while PETA is hosting black tie events..

It's really backwards.

That's because PETA spends their donations on slick propaganda campaigns, whereas the SPCA really does give the majority of their funds to help animals.

True, it's just really unfortunate. All the money PETA has could actually help some animals, they're just too radical.
