Challenges To Non-profit Groups
Since 2001, NAIA has tried to challenge the non-profit status of certain animal rights groups, notably People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), saying that it and similar groups “use intimidation, harassment and deception to raise money” and use funds for purposes other than those identified in their campaigns. It has documented that, unlike the impression given by its advertising campaigns, the Humane Society does not operate any animal shelters or provide direct care to animals. It spends a great proportion of its revenues on lobbying and working to write and pass legislation.

Famous quotes containing the words challenges and/or groups:
“The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
