DurianJoe. I just wrote to my reps about the downed animal bill: http://www.farmsanctuary.org/get_involved/update_downed_animals08.html
I might even give Farm Sanctuary a donation. I love organizations that don't make me feel objectified to get their point across.
I think the problem is that PETA has consistently and deliberately used questionable tactics, and resorted to personal attacks against those who brought it to their attention. I think their antics actually harm their cause and cheapen the publics view of the problems they are supposed to be working against.
