	Though there is a body among Theosophists who believe that the PETA
line is part of ahimsa, and that their attitude is very theosophical.
Those who have read Blavatsky's lesser-known works would know that
Blavatsky, at least, would not agree. They do some good work, but they
also act as a press arm for the REALLY radical animal-rights
organizations (the ones who bomb entire medical research labs because
one experiment involving animals is taking place).
