[edit] "Organisational" section on People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

I have removed your contribution to the PETA page. Please don't take this as a criticism of you personally or as anything other than a desire to improve the page.

As it stands, this section has no |verifiable sources. I tried googling around to find some supporting evidence, but I was unable to find any. If you have a link to a media report of this criticism or, failing that, to the criticism itself, please feel free to re-add it, but as it is, I could not find any references to it.

Also, please remember that the passage needs to be neutral and it is best not to use weasel words to get around being neutral.

Again, this is not a criticism of you or of your desire, just a statement of the reality that we need sourced material for the page

For reference, I have added the passage in question below:

Some criticize PETA on it's organisation and strategy. One such criticism is that it has campaigns on issues which are viewed as relativly unimportant, such as Chinese puppy furs, while it should be consentrating on vegetarianism. Other critisms is that it is doesn't get its members and supporters involved in active campaigning, in comparison to organisations like the Socialist Workers Party (Britain) which has weekly stalls in every town - something which is viewed by many as a possible highly effective way of bringing people to vegetarianism and veganism.
