PETA 

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. An eccentric Animal Rights organization that opposes factory farming, the wearing fur and leather, and other activites that they percieve as cruel to animals. They differ from more mainstream animal rights groups in that they seek to reduce animal suffering by promoting vegetarian or veganism and spread their message by pulling wacky stunts and protests to attract media attention.

There has also been some evidence that some of its more radical leaders have given support to ALF but that's not to say that all PETA members are terrorists.

PETA found evidence of animal abuse at a factory farm that supplied fastfood chains.

Not all vegans or animal lovers are PETA members

Jesus Horse 

A dinosaur. The term is used sarcastically to mock young earth creationists and their ludicrous assertion that dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

"Oh yeah? Well how do you explain the dinosaurs? What were they Jesus horses?"
