People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA),
with more than 1.6 million members and supporters, is the largest
animal rights organization in the world. r>
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. We also work on a variety of
other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and
other "pests," and the abuse of backyard dogs.
PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations,
research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity
involvement, and protest campaignContact

who are interested in animal rights have seen bookstores chock full of
philosophical essays about animals, vegetarian cookbooks, and a plethora
