Normally a preachy, whiny person not unlike the very religious people that wander about trying to shun the extremists of their creed while painting themselves and their crusades as moral and just even if it means committing immoral acts such as dishonesty (see definition 11).
Often found on any form of media that allows them to voice themselves no matter how ignorant, hateful or repulsive the remarks they make.
Most often they are young, white teens in well off enough backgrounds that they never had to experience a lack of necessities, thus they are often very opinionated, will blindly support anyone they feel is serving the cause and will not research beyond what they feel is right (ie when they free animals sheltered in society and leave them to die trying to survive on their own).
The more extreme of the line tend to value animal life over human, unless it's themselves, and will stoop to any level to continue their "moral" crusade. There is no compromising with them, they feel they know more than everyone else, will often tout their veganism as their evidence they know more, and will shout down or coerce others through violence (See Sea Shepherd).
the only way to deal with them is to ignore them and within a short period tend to grow tired and leave as their moral crusade tends to come and go in surges much like fads.

Normal person conversing with another; "Well I cleaned my tank and fed the fish yesterday, so they should be happy"
Opinionated animal rights activist; "You should free them, fish can't live in tanks like slaves, they live better and longer in the wild"
Extremist animal rights activist; "RAM THEM!"

Get the facebook animal doppelganger mug.First of all, don't get me wrong i support 100% for the protection and proper treatment of all animals on this earth. But Seriously...rights for animals? Animal Rights are a joke, simply because if we gave animals rights, they would inherent moral responsibilities along with it, since animals are not intelligent enough and/or don't have the cognitive ability to understand what moral responsibilites are. Also becuase moral responsibilities are a phenomena developed for humans by humans and will NEVER exisit or apply to any other species. In essence if animals were given rights "they would go to animal jail for shiting and fucking all over the shiting fucking place" (Pen & Teller) also for killing each other and other animals. Think about it, do you think humans REALLY really beilieve they should be compared and/or held equally or higher to a dog that likes to use its tongue as toilet paper?
Also one more thing, PETA and ALF state that medical research and experiment should be banned and dont apply for humans.
Here is my response: Humans have lungs and a heart, dogs have lungs and a heart. 80%-90% of all medical research and knowledge has been made possible BECAUSE OF ANIMAL TESTING, IT IS A NECCESARY EVIL.

Get the Animal Rights mug.I know this definition will get voted down, because too many people here like murder, hate animals, and are overall idiots.
I always wanted to be an animal.
I mean, wouldn't it be awesome to be a chicken? You have to jump over somebody to get to where you're going, you're swimming in your own feces, you're surrounded by a shitload of other chickens and then killed at the age of 2 months... erm... okay, a pig.
You're castrated at birth and fed until you can't stand, and if you don't eat fast enough you're banged against concrete and shot if you aren't fat enough to slaughter... erm... cows?
Being constantly pregnant so you can provide milk to another species and then when you aren't "useful" enough you get to be turned into food... nope, being an animal kinda sucks.

Chickens... Eggs and "poultry"
Cows... Milk and "beef"
Pigs... "pork"
Yeah... I want to be enjoyed by people that eat me, and given French names that turn into English euphemisms...
Ahh, now that's a life.
