Animal rights group?

[Olivia]

What do you think of animal rights groups?

Do some of them do a lot of good for animals? Do some go too far?

Would you join an animal rights group? (which one)

 

[PGen98]

PETA are pathetic, but a lot of animal rights groups are good, useful groups that need to exist.
