Thanks for the source on the flour-throwing thing. I can't say I see flour-throwing as a particularly heinous or fanatical action, but you're right that it was endorsed by PETA.
When you say PETA endorses and funds a concept, what you're really saying is that they express a particular point of view (namely that violence against animals should be resisted by any means necessary). I'm sure you disagree with it strongly, but expressing a viewpoint is a lot different than doing violence, isn't it? Do you really want to make the claim that endorsing a disagreeable philosophy is the same as violence? That reminds me too much of the War on Terror.
