How PETA wastes its funds

http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/30/peta-demands-games-workshop-remove-fur-pelts-from-/

"The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals affiliate in London is asking developers at Games Workshop to ban animal furs from its Warhammer 40,000 board game."

That money could be going to actually help animals but they'd rather spend a $30M budget on crap like this.

Can you provide a link to that number please? I mean, I know they sent a letter, but even I can't fathom how that amounted to $30 million dollars. Please, share.

Or, if you're suggesting that the $17.50 (or whatever) they spent to set the internet ablaze talking about the fur trade as part of that $30 million not being well spent, well your concern is probably so noted that even I thank you for participating in it.

Their annual income is around $30M last is checked. I don't know how much they spent on this.

"crap like this" which might as well have cost $17.50 to light up the internet on the fur trade (in this instance).

You don't really get PETA do you?
