I am not a member of PETA, but sometimes I do agree to what they do (all though not to the point where I would harm anyone, physically or mentally)

I have a leather jacket and shoes and am not a vegan or veggie. I do think there is a difference between eating, say a cow or a sheep and using the whole animals leftovers afterwards, eg skin, than purely breeding an animal purely for its skin - mink farming.

There was a case in Scotland a while back that showed a dead Golden Eagle, which had been poisoned and trapped in a snare - the excuse was, it was vermin. Hope they chocked on it.

I am also against animal experiments:- Beagles or any other dog for that matter (unless in cartoon) do not smoke, if the same experiments where done on people - opening the skull of a monkey and placing electrodes to see what happens to the brain's nervous system, these people would be arrested and sent to the asylum.

Medicine have gone on to leaps and bounds from the victorian era, where body-snatching and live (no anasthestic) operations where carried out, there is simply no excuse why medicine hasn't kept up with the rest of the worlds technology, why should it when the world leaders can spend billions of pounds/dollars on weapons - war is big business.

As I said, I have never committed an act of terrorism, eco or otherwise and would rather use my voice than a gun to get my point across.

I am also a holder of a "green" donor card, which basically means when I die, if a "mad" doctor wants to build a new Frankenstein-type creature, then if he so wishes he can use my body parts in his quest, rather than re-animating dead frogs or mice.
