I've seen clips from that show before, and it is about as biased as Wikipedia would be.
Of course, I would side with PETA being good... until I hear about them not condoning violence.
What are Humans but Animals? Assaulting a Human must be seen to be the same degree of 'unethical' as assaulting an animal, and yet PETA does it.
From a medical standpoint, in today's world far less animals are being killed and used. I'll admit, I don't like the idea of animal testing but it is neccesary. Recently, 4 people were rushed to hospital over a serious reaction to a drug being testing in Britain. They were essential human guinee-pigs for this new drug. This drug had already been developed to the point that human testing was allowed. If there were no animals used before human testing began, huge numbers of people despirate for money would be left with a lower state of life, if not dead, during drug trials.
Heck, even something as simple as a tetnus booster is unsafe to make in humans. The antibodies are grown in horses since a human body would react very badly to them {that's why they're put in dense fatty tissue when you're injected}.
As for veganism... well, it's not for me. In fact, you wouldn't be able to get everyone to turn off meat and stay healthy just like that. It'd take some time for people to adjust. It would be a major malnutrition risk to suddenly stop producing/eating meat.
As for euthanasia...
I know there's at least one charity in the UK with the motto "We never put a health dog down". If PETA can pay money to support violence, they can probably keep more animals alive. Also, I would like to know what their opinion on neutering/spaying is {mainly because there's another charity with the slogan "It's nicer to neuter"}.
I will not support PETA until they rule out violence and act to stop it. That's what Gandi did. That's what M.L.K. did.

Test them on the criminals- the rapists, pedophiles and murderers. Screw any human rights thing for them. Once you break the laws of the land, you've violated others

And what about the idea of Redemption? The idea that "a man can change"? Isn't every crime subject to a trial and re-trial?
Also, basic Human Rights would say "You can't torture me" and, IMO, testing potential lethal concotions on me would be torturous.
