Whether PETA or anti-PETA, the overall key to dealing with animals is "the good of the species". The PETA types get bound up in the fate of any one particular animal, ignoring the issue of carrying capacity of land and the health of the herd. Some--note "some"--anti-PETA types in commercial dealings with animals do perform over-harvest. Whaling is one activity; ocean fishing is another--and over-harvest is bad for long-term survival of a species.
That the PETA leaders go all overboard and irrational is evidenced in the basic statement from Ingrid Newkirk back when she first came to the U.S. from England: "A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy."
Sincerity does not create sanity...
