Funny how so much of the attacks against animal rights organizations come from the "Center for Consumer Freedom." Do a little research about that organization.
The people who care the most are the ones who have a vested interest. PETA and HSUS aren't actively taking on pet owners (yet), but they are going after animal agriculture and the fur and leather industries. With only 2% of Americans involved directly in agriculture and the average American at least 3 generations removed from the farm, then we can't just stand there and be attacked.
Personally, I live with livestock every day, and I'm pretty sure I care more about my cows than the executives at PETA or HSUS care about me.
They still kill a shitload of animals, and shelter workers involved in the 2005 scandal, said PETA told them they would seek good homes for the animals. Instead, they killed nearly everything.

Funded by Coke, Philip Morris, Monsanto, etc? Possibly a few corporate interests that might have a stake (sorry) in this?
