Doesn't sound so bad. When I hear that bruce guy I can't help but remember the audio tape where he advocates destruction of property, violence, etc. And then when I hear "PETA" can't help but remember the records of their illegal activity and donations to terrorist organizations. Something the public should know about before making up their minds on the credibility of PETA...

For those interested, a post on PETA and the Center For Consumer Freedom (a front group for the alcohol, tobbacco and fast food industries) can be read here:

The post includes a brief interview with PETA's Bruce Friedrich. I hope to have an interview with the head of the Center For Consumer Freedom soon.

When President Kennedy got shot, there was this guy (Zapruder?) that filmed it and no journalist ever looked into his background. Maybe he was a commie or perhaps a John Bircher, why no investigation?
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
He filmed it as it happened he JUST operated the camera.
SO too with PETA, PETA just filmed what the shochet, mashgiah and rabbis were doing at the time At no time did PETA 'manage' the scene!
I don't give a ding dong what the PETA has done in the past. PETA is the only outfit that could take this public, anyone Jewish would get stepped on, screwed over, loose job, excommunicated and so on.
Now if the scene JUST consisted of only the animals THEN I say we need to see the motivations of such a group to see if they would fake a scene.
Lets say the PETA is guily of all that you want them to be SO WHAT, I DON'T CARE!!
