Supporting opposite beliefs

I was browsing through this vegetarian site and I noticed that they were reccomending this book "animal liberation" by Peter Singer.
In case you don't know who Peter Singer is, he is an Australian philosopher who says that infanticide is "acceptable" for disabled children (like children with down syndrome). I think he also advocated or at least green lights the automatic euthenasia of the elderly or infirm.
This really pissed me off. The whole time people were writing on this website about how vegetarianism/veganism was about being cruel free and then they reccomend a book by this wacko. I ended up writing the website a letter asking them to take it off their list. I don't know if they'll actually take my reccomendation or if they will just write me off as a pro-life nut.
Has anyone else had an experience like this? Where a group they support indirectly or directly supported something like this? What did you do?
