People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals
|
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with 6.5 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. 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. PETA staffers have had their articles and opinion pieces published in everything from BUST magazine to The Wall Street Journal, and several staffers post pieces to OpEdNews.com using this account.

More than 10,000 U.S. thoroughbred horses end up slaughtered for meat every year.
Monday, June 7, 2010Get hooked on compassion--not fishing It's time to stop pretending that fishing is an acceptable pastime. Fish are intelligent animals who form complex social relationships, have impressive long-term memories, and use tools. And they feel pain, as all animals do.

Friday, June 15, 2012Fight cancer with food When it comes to beating cancer and other diseases, an ounce of prevention (switching to a healthy, humane vegan diet) is worth a pound of cure (surgery, radiation and chemotherapy).
Tuesday, February 21, 2012Civil Rights Fopr Orcas?- PETA Takes Sea World To Court! Last week, five captive orcas were represented in a U.S. federal court in a lawsuit filed against SeaWorld seeking to establish that the animals deserved protection under the Constitution's 13th Amendment, which prohibits slavery.

Saturday, July 31, 2010Modern tests spare animals from oil leak fallout The EPA is using efficient and effective non-animal testing methods to study the endocrine effects of chemical dispersants that could be used to clean up oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

Wednesday, April 22, 2009Animals don't make war--and shouldn't be treated as the enemy At 17 military bases across the country, medics are being forced to maim and kill goats and pigs in cruel and outdated trauma-training exercises. Our troops deserve the very best, so why is the military still stabbing, burning and shooting animals when it could be using the very latest equipment to train medics to save soldiers' lives?
Friday, May 14, 2010KFC's 'pink buckets' are a recipe for cancer Studies have long shown that eating meat--including chicken--can increase your cancer risk. So why is KFC peddling "Buckets for the Cure"?
Thursday, February 27, 2014Zoos' dirty little secret The public killing of the 18-month-old giraffe Marius at the Copenhagen Zoo should be a wake-up call: Zoos are businesses whose "merchandise" is living, feeling animals, and unwanted animals are routinely unloaded in unsavory ways.
