Revision as of 23:58, 25 January 2003 by Arthur3030 (talk | contribs) (A few NPOV amendments.)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to animal rights. It was founded in 1980, and its current president is Ingrid Newkirk.
PETA is well known for aggressive media campaigns and public demonstrations for animal rights. Some observers consider PETA to be offensive, unethical, and dishonest in the pursuit of their goals, and PETA thus often incites hostility and ridicule from those who disagree with then.
In June 2000, a federal judge ordered a parody website called "People Eating Tasty Animals" to give up its domain name to PETA for trademark reasons.
PETA is has many famous members and supporters, including Pamela Anderson and Paul McCartney.
