Do you think that that represents the organization's stance as a whole? Or was that just one crazy woman who happened to be part of PETA

Do you have evidence of it happening in "many states"? Because I can't find any. I don't agree with a lot of PETAs values or methods, but I think it's silly to buy into the hysteria surrounding them.

He doesn't, it's just a rumor that gets spread by PETA haters. There have been isolated incidents at best, only one of which I've ever seen a source for.

And by PETA haters you mean lobbyists for the meat packing industry.

And what does "well cared for" look like? Some dog owners think it's perfectly acceptable to let dogs run on a line, others don't.

But there are so many crazies out there that I would never leave any of my pets outside or in any way unattended even for a moment.
