The animal rights organization is many things, but it’s not a “physicians group.” Less than 4 percent of its members went to medical school. And two-thirds of its $9 million budget now comes directly from the wealthy president of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (who is also PETA’s biggest donor).

How about a little truth in labeling?
