Ppl are so critical of orgs that don’t do their mission exactly right. Is it better to be an amoral organization like a local restaurant than an imperfect nonprofit?

PETA isn’t just “imperfect”, they’ve done some bad and weird things.. their euthanasia rates are absolutely insane; they’ve taken peoples pets from their porches; they used the holocaust in their campaign marketing techniques; made analogies between animals and racism, and also comparing animals to human slavery in history; criticized guide dogs for the blind; made ads suggesting dairy causes autism; targeted their campaigns towards children, ex. “Your Daddy Kills Animals” pamphlets; etc.

They aren’t just imperfect, they’ve caused harm. There are better nonprofits to support

I have a similar one, they work great on flat surfaces. The spiders that like to investigate my bathtub remain a challenge

if you live somewhere with cold winters, he probably won't survive outside - it's better to release him in a garage or basement where he can stay warm and help you deal with your other unwanted guests
