They get the 97% by factoring out the animals reclaimed by their owners.

searching CNN for PETA stories is awesome:

Cliff Tredway, the director of public relations for the Rescue Mission, said it's more than pizzas that helped that shelter.

"It's the story of a guy whose execution translated into a generous act," he said. "It's people donating to other people they don't know.

"It's about a group of people who society often writes off getting a pizza party today."

I'm hoping they'll cancel each other out. Same thing I'm hoping for fundies and Dawkins followers.

Why is a big tobacco group fucking with PETA?

I didn't think that CCF was taking cash from Big Tobacco. According to them, they're...

The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition of restaurants, food companies, and consumers working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.

The growing cabal of "food cops," health care enforcers, militant activists, meddling bureaucrats, and violent radicals who think they know "what's best for you" are pushing against our basic freedoms. We're here to push back.

Okay all those times when I have defended PETA on ILE? Let this serve as an official notice that I'm off the train.

seems like reasonably self aware animals have as much a right to personhood as corporations do

head clowning instructor (art), Tuesday, 21 April 2015 17:12 (nine years ago) link

seems questionable, how much money do they make

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 17:14 (nine years ago) link

or perhaps I should say "how much value do they create"
