Okay, I think I see your point. In this case, though, things seem to be reversed. The numbers should come to the good of the corporation. But, in the end, PETA has won the battle. Am I getting close?

Caving to PETA actually means an initial loss to the companies because of the increased costs. Of course, they eventually make it up by boosting prices. PETA doesn’t actually win anything, except in the eyes of its contributors, who usually are too clueless to realize they’re being taken by a woman named Ingrid Newkirk, the harridan who founded the organization and has made quite a lot of money as a result.
