Doesn't the Idtarod realize that by blaming PETA they're boosting PETA as a force in animal rights? Adding to its coffers. Adding to its membership. Anyone who pays attention knows that PETA lies. I don't for moment believe that 80,000 people filled out their form in a matter of days. So why did Wells Fargo drop its sponsorship? It happened because of the terrible publicity the company received about the fake accounts employees created and because over many year they got lots of emails from animal rights activists who followed many different groups.
