I don’t have any particular position on PETA. I agree with some of their viewpoints, and disagree with others. But when I see stuff like this I always have to question the source, reliability, and bias. The following is from Sourcewatch:

PetaKillsAnimals.com is a website created in July 2004 by the food and beverage industry front group, the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF). CCF is a front group for the restaurant, alcohol and tobacco industries. CCF has received funding from the Altria Group, formerly Philip Morris as well as Tyson Foods and Coca-Cola. All of these corporations have been subjects of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals campaigns over animal testing and animal welfare. Over 40 percent of the group’s 2005 expenditure was paid to Rick Berman’s PR company, Berman & Co. for management services
