PETA's track record in animal welfare is abysmal - since they think pets should not exist due to their belief in "animal rights" - and there was a scandal with PETA killing than 90 percent of the adoptable animals in its care during 2007. Which means the sadistic PETA freaks will not get a single penny off me - EVER! http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ Now, I'm an omnivore, and very interested in animal welfare (something quite a few vegans deny is possible). It means I support RSPCA, PDSA and buy organic/freerange - I'm lucky enough to have a city farm within walking distance and can see for myself how the animals are cared for and what conditions they live in. In my opinion promoting animal welfare is better for preventing animal suffering than promoting "animal rights." Dragonblaze

His first major success was to persuade the cosmetics companies Revlon and Avon to develop an alternative to the Draize test. It is as a result of this campaign that people can now buy "cruelty-free" cosmetics. I would say that the ban on battery cages in the EU is a big improvement, some would call it "welfarist". I am not especially fussed about what label people are putting on themselves, I think the main thing to worry about is, are you getting something done.

I believe we should be more cruel to animals.
