My favorite PETA story is the one about the protesters in Tennesee who painted a girl up like a tiger and locked her in a cage outside of a circus (one which has one of the MOST succesful breeding programs for Asian elephants..it is awesome!). She had to be carried away by an ambulance for hypthermia because they didn't think it through very well.

September 26, 2000-September 28, 2000: UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s Ethics Panel Voices Strong Concerns About the Development of GM Crops
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s Ethics Panel meets in Rome to consider the ethical implications of recent advances in biotechnology. The panel is made up of world-renowned agronomists and ethicists. The focus of their discussion is on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food and agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Following the meeting, the panel prepares a report that includes a summary of its views and lists a number of recommendations. The overriding concern of the report, completed some time in 2001, is that there is an inherent conflict between the interests of the corporations developing the technology and the social issues that GMO defenders say the technology will address. The biotech industry’s primary concern is “to maximize profits,” not to address the needs of the world’s rural poor, the report says

Been there, done that.
After the incidents previously stated about the the Georgian offshoot of PETA, we of the pet store staff who had the same lunch went and had a Kentucky Fried Chicken picnic in front of a PETA protest of the very same KFC. Much chicken was offered.
The best part about it was when the PETA people attempted to tell three abhorently devote Catholics (*people who could tell you the King James Bible cover to cover without cheating!) that it says in the Bible that animals have souls and the Bible says we shouldn't eat them. I've never seen so many Bible verses flung at people in such short order.

Could you also explain how terminator technology is designed to feed the world's poor?
And perhaps add how patenting LIFE as private corporate property (eg the now largely revoked patent on basmati rice bt RiceTech) is geared towards helping the impoverished indigenous people whose crops became patented by these allegedly benevolent biotech companies?
Corporations like Astrazeneca and Monsanto do not do anything out of concern for people. They are corporate entities required by law to act in a way that will financially benefit their shareholders. Being nice to poor people doesn't tend to make much capital. On the other hand, screwing indigenous groups through bio-piracy does make money. As does selling products such as rBGH which are detrimental to the health of both the animals which are injected with the genetically engineered growth hormone, and the humans who subsequently consume dairy products from the cow.
Now this is not something which is inherent in GM technology - but which is currently determined by the people who possess the technology and its patents, biotech corporations. What concerns me is not what they were first developed for - but who owns them and the ways these for profit entities have attempted to use the technologies to gain wealth at the expense of the people these technologies were allegedly designed to benefit.

But as patents expire the improvements will filter down into the strains aimed at feeding the hungry.

thankfully alot of 3rd world countrys do have GM crops to use as i said before without GM crops 1/3 of the world would starve.

at the moment though large companys tend to be the main entitys plowing large amounts of recearch money into developing new strains. As a result most of the cuting edge crops are not free. But as patents expire the improvements will filter down into the strains aimed at feeding the hungry.

How long does it take for the patents to expire?
