What makes PETA laughable is that it doesn't follow its own "rules." If it did so, I'd be more inclined to take the organization seriously and actually recognize that they have a valid point of view (if somewhat skewed from my perspective). However, they say one thing then do something altogether different. They say they support peaceful change then support groups like ALF. They lobby for bans on furs and then their members show up at rallies wearing leather belts/shoes or some imitation thereof (meanwhile chucking cans of red paint at the dirty meat-eaters). They decry euthanasia as cruel and inhumane then reveal that they've been putting animals down for years because sometimes that's the only way to end their suffering.
That is what makes PETA laughable. Some degree of hypocrisy is a given when dealing with any organization run by human beings, but the level present in PETA shows that they consider themselves above the standards they would hold everyone else to. Extreme action has no meaning when it is obvious that the people behind it don't have any respect for their own so-called beliefs.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
