You have to understand--
These are Big Business! Multi-million $ corporations. Their behavior harvests dollars. Every time there's some public spectacle (which many seem like they engineered themselves) the donations come rolling in, tax free, to PETA, HSUS, their foreign counterparts (I understand there's a very powerful one in Germany). It seems very unlikely that they are going to convert the entirety of humanity to veganism (MacDonalds is also a multimillion $ corporation), so animal production is pretty much here to stay, at least until they can grow GMO meat in a petri dish at similar volume and cost (how many people going to accept that?). And I similarly doubt that all the little old ladies with fluffy anklebiter dogs or 200 cats are going to buy in either; the veterinary industry and pet products companies are similarly invested. So money talks. PETA et al will still be harvesting dollars, but there's more money in animals than in eliminating animals. Like they say, follow the money.
