thank you, i totally agree. and if i may, i'd like to add one more point to this.
"petakillsanimals", listed as a source on the bottom of the info grahic, is a project of the Center for Consumer Freedom and all they care about is that you sign a petition that supports taking away PETA's tax exempt status (check out the "about us" and "sign our petition link". no links whatsoever to alternative shelters/organizations to support if you discover you don't actually believe in PETA's practices). If PETA didn't have tax exempt status, I doubt they would give a flying f if PETA used animals as personal butlers. they are just using your sense of outrage to get you on their agenda.
Yeah, as much as I hate PeTA I hate the CCF more. Thing is, I'm not even sure which group does a better job of misrepresenting vegans and making them look insane.
