An animal rights organisation that serves only to demean its own cause, by staging ridiculous and over-the-top press events, and other obsene attacks on its opponents.

This is partially because people tend to turn their heads away from exposure to the hideous and gruesome reality of animal cruelty in modern society -- resulting in the need for more outlandish tactics to bring people's attention to the issue.

People usually find this offensive, especially since PETA seems to subscribe to EVERY possible viewpoint concerning animal rights, no matter how extreme.
"I hope people don't think all animal rights activists are as moronic and extreme as the PETAs...."

Based on the extremist animal rights group, one can use PETA as a means of expressing the extreme actions of yourself or someone else.

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

A terrorist organization by definition; they're right to help animals; but theyve gone too far. They have tooken to the extreme and should be purged. We all know nobody cares what peta thinks, but still their ideas are messed up.
