Confienently leaving out all the negative stuff they did, like setting fire to test labs, paying 10 k to various arsenists, trying to get bans on virtualy everything related to animals.
A recent story however, also stated that PETA Uthenises animals themselfs without any reason to do so. They pick em up at the vets office, then kill them and dump them in a truct. There is evidence of them doing it.
More on that story here:

If you want more info on what PETA actualy does in it's spare time, when they are not out promoting their so called good deeds and going on useless protesting, I suggest you take a look at

But let me also put in a statement of myself in here. PETA is a very messed up orginisation, which once started out as a good one, but when it became popular, it turned into an almost terorist like orginisation. Something called 'God Complex' took over the president of operations there, and for some akward reason they are trying to save animals that don't realy need saving.
If you have something against animal testing, thats fine. But before you do anything, it might come in handy to know why drugs are tested on animals in the first place. Make up and stuff is a diffrent story all together, but also know that these people liberated and set fire to various testing facilities where life saving drugs were being tested on animals, and this research was delayed for months.
Also, they have nice talk and everything, but PETA doesn't know anything about the animals they are saving. I myself am very involved with people who run sanctuaries and the like. And when you live in America, you don't want to know how many presure PETA puts on sanctuaries because 'they are dangrous and should be closed down'.
I am a member of two exotic animal owner mailing lists, and no-one (I mean NO-ONE!) has a good word to say about PETA. Which is akward, because you'd expect these people (who love animals just as much as PETA claims to) to support PETA? They don't, for very obvious reasons.
