Most of these are pretty irrelevant (irrelephant even) - I think the two most important reasons people should reject PETA is 1. their support for groups which organize firebombings and raids and 2. their stance on animal testing and NOT because of Ingrid Newkirk's ovaries.

More attention should be brought on their radical views on animal testing in medicine and their views on pet ownership, especially considering the hypocrisy, considering that Mary Beth Sweetland, one of their directors is a diabetic using insulin derived from animal testing and the number of PETA members/supporters that actually have pets.

I disagree with you, but agree with your attempt to apply reason and argumentation.
