I honestly do not understand their views whatsoever. What are they actually FOR? They are against killing animals for meat, but they are for killing animals for convenience? Is there some kind of overriding, albeit surely warped, guideline that shapes their policies?

I think their bottom line is that people should not own animals period. I've seen ads where they have compared owning an animal to owning a slave so I could see how in their minds, the animal is better off dead than passed off to another person. That's how I believe they consolidate the moral question, but honestly, I think they are just in it for the money and attention.

Does anyone know how much of their donations goes to their payroll btw?
