As for David Tree, I agree totally with what PETA did in this situation. Mr. Tree did save an animal and it is only fitting that an organization like PETA recognized Mr. Tree's most compassionate act.
I am not a fan of PETA, but in this case, based on this article, I think you are being a bit harsh on PETA.

I would agree. I don't think PETA was saying the koala was more important than a human being. They were just applauding the fireman's act.
That so many people died is the truly tragic part. That is the primary offense the arsonists should be tried for. If PETA wants to lobby to have animal cruelty added to the charges that's ok with me.
