Sign The Petition To rescind PETA's Tax-Exempt Status

Before I sign any petition of this sort, I would like to see chapter and
verse on the laws that they (PITA as an organization, not just
individual members. Its an incorporation thing, don't ya know.) have
broken that would preclude them from getting tax-exempt status. I'm not
a fan of PITA, but just saying "I don't like them so I don't think they
should be tax exempt" is not a valid argument. I don't like organized
religion so should I start a petition to have all churches removed from
the tax exempt roles? How many people have died from the results of
organized religion vs. the results of eco-nuts?

The problem I have with it is that some of the members of Consumer Freedom
are a bigger threat to fishing than PETA, which I consider a minor
annoyance. Consumer Freedom is a lobbying group that supports factory
farming, including salmon farming, developers and has a general anti-clean
air and water agenda. In this case the enemies of my enemies aren't my
friends. A curse on both of them.
