Time and time again PETA have done deals with the animal abusers, settling for minor welfare improvements, this is welfare, not AR!
PETA have even suggested people go to Burger King, as part of their boycott Wendy's campaign in America.
Earlier this year they ran a campaign with burlesque star dita von teese a woman who has regularly worn fur and admits to enjoying a bit of foie gras.
A group such as PETA, one so full of hypocrisies dose not deserve our support.

Don't give PETA your money, they have plenty, give it to grassroots AR groups as they make the real differences in these animals lives.

Medtronic reaches agreement with animal rights group PETA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Medtronic has reached an agreement with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) over the treatment of animals it uses in medical experimentation.
Fridley, Minn.-based medical device maker Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) will work to improve its treatment of animals it uses in tests under terms of a deal with Norfolk, Va.-based PETA, a release detailed.
The company will also extend protections to animals used in foreign contract laboratories. PETA said in exchange, it withdrew its shareholder resolution calling on Medtronic to stop outsourcing animal experiments to countries with inadequate animal protection laws.
Medtronic will also meet with PETA twice yearly to discuss animal welfare issues.
Medtronic's Spinal and Biologics unit is located in Memphis, where it employs about 1,300 people who work with surgeons, researchers and others to make technologies for neurological, orthopedic, dental and spinal conditions.
