This is the trouble. There ARE certified loonies out there who label themselves as animal rights activists, and those of us who work in animal welfare and rescues are lumped in with them.

People ask me about donating to PETA (what with me being an animal rescuer and all) and I tell them about their "shelters." PETA isn't pro-animal, they're anti-Human. ALF are as bad, and are anti-conservation. Greenpeace I am still undecided about; they do good things then they do something stupid.
