About Me


People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) , with more than 1.8 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. We focus attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: factory farms, laboratories, the clothing trade, and the entertainment industry. We work through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.
