P&G only came out and told us about animal testing because they thought it would earn them respect for telling the truth. Unfortunately for them, this caused huge debates and it lost P&G loads of money.
PETA can be extreme at times but sometimes, you need to be extreme to get through to some people, and their methods do work. As for uncaged, i have met 100's of members and supporters during the international animal rights day that took place in several places over the UK. They are very friendly people, not extreme and they prefer peaceful methods to get their points across. The only times i have seen them get a bit rough is during demonstrations against bull fighting.

Thank you for that information Chris
I do not know either personally, neither have I had any dealings with the people that work for Peta or Uncaged.
I do think that some people are completely biased against certain organisations such as Peta and the RSPCA, whom I have had dealings with.
Nobody gets it right all of the time, and the RSPCA don't always respond as we would like, but they do a job that most of us would not wish to do, such as witnessing animals who have been subjected to mindless cruelty.
I think that all any of us can do is to try to boycott any company that knowingly participates in animal experiments without cause. I try to keep a clear conscience.
