People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is the largest animal rights organization in the world. Founded in 1980, PETA is dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.

Peta is an amazing girl in every way. She brings light into your life, and you can’t help but smile when your around her. She is so beautiful in side and out. So if you meet a peta never let her go because she will be your best friend forever.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. An ok orginization that most people hate. I dont know why people hate them so much. They dont care if you have pets. There just trying to send a message that you shouldnt keep your pets on a chain outside all day. I mean most of the victims on animal cops are dogs chained outside all day starved. I think there are some things they could do better like spend there money on helping animals instead of making sticker and magnets. But honestly i think that animals and humans are on the same level. I mean what makes us so much better. We both shit, eat, and sleep. So all of you people who dedicate your time to tear PETA down. Spend your time on the real "bad guy". The labs, people who wear fur, and the people who abuse animals.
Look at J-lo shes wearing a mink fur coat. Lets throw a can of red paint on her.
Man i wish that peta would use more money on helping animals then making stickers.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals,
an organization that encourages people to go vegetarian or vegan, and to treat animals with as much respect as you want to be treated with yourself. In other words, the real morons are those who are incapable of bringing up the respect to treat animals properly. It seems that many people consider us terrorists... which does not make sense and just tries to prototype all animal lovers into something bad. Give us proof that every single peta activist has commited crimes at the level of terrorism, and then you have a point, until then: stop bullshitting about things you dont understand. As for the crapass who said peta activists have a low IQ, he or she is highly pathetic and probably suffering from some kind of mental disorder that prohibits intelligence growth. All peta does is what they consider best for the animals, if you agree with them, show your support and ignore all the bullshit haters say, if you're against it: come up with proper arguements that can be backed up with proof if you expect anyone to pay attention to you.

Peta activists are adults, teens and kids who want whats best for the animals, and humans, in our world.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The butt of many jokes and the end of many propagandized statements.
They do not kill every animal they have in their posession.
Their mission statement, " People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with more than 2.0 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry."
Basically, it says that animals are not ours to exploit in any way.
So, no, members of Peta do not try to shove their way of life down your throat.
Most members are vegetarians/vegans.
They have had many undercover investigations that have been successful in educating the public, and exposing many animal abusers.
So, STOP RAGGING ON THEM.

A question commonly asked with answer.
“It’s almost impossible to avoid using all animal products; if you’re still causing animal suffering without realizing it, what's the point?”
It is impossible to live without causing some harm. We’ve all accidentally stepped on ants or breathed in gnats, but that doesn’t mean that we should intentionally cause unnecessary harm. You might accidentally hit someone with your car, but that is no reason to run someone over on purpose.
Meat Eater: *nomnomnom* Yummay cheezburgar.
Peta Member: You know where that came from, right? *shows packet*
Meat Eater: Wow, thank you for INFORMING me without SHOVING THAT DOWN MY THROAT.
Example 2:
Meat Eater: *nomnomnom* Yummay cheezburgar.
Peta Member: You know where that came from, right? *shows pamplet*
Meat Eater: YOU SUCK! Get away from me you Peta fag!!!
Peta Member: Well, okay then. *leaves pamplet*
Not all Peta members are the same, just like not all meat eaters are the same.

PETA, is an acronym for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and despite what you may believe they do do all that they can to help animals. Animals do have the same rights as humans, and PETA tries to get that point across to the rest of the world, no matter what it takes. I know you're all gonna give this a big thumbs down, but i couldnt stand to see a joke made of the name of PETA one more time.
PETA is an incredible minority group, trying to do what they can to make the world much more humane.

A fantastic animal right's organisation, encouraging people to become vegetarian or vegan, improving the quality of their lives and saving animals lives.
They don't support violence, and the people who poured paint on fur wearers were extremist members who PETA looked down on.
They are not against pets, they are against breeders, as for every pet you buy from a breeder, one in a pound must die.
PETA claims to have never killed animals, unless for the shelters, as it is not possible or ethical to keep a vast majority of pets in an adoption shelter for long.
PETA rocks, always has and always will.
It is currently the largest animal rights organisation in the world, so it must be doing something right.
