I don't think PETA gives a rat a$$ about facts.They are appealing to compassionate types who will not question the direction their heart points them.These are the folks most easily influenced by propaganda.

My favorite response to these people is to ask them if they eat meat.Then tell them,"if you eat meat you kill animals".A granola will actually try and argue this point.A point they cannot win.
Sportsmen are honest about what happened to obtain that meal.People that pay others to provide them their meat,and pretend like it's not their fault, are your PETA supporters.
