PETA claims they help animals but do they really? Do their campaigns help their cause or defeat it? Or is it the hypocrisy that they live by that drags them down? No matter what, PETA still keeps claiming something that they’re not. A PETA member told me that they educate the masses so people can make informed choices (Melissa). Is it…
