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.
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 campaigns.
Twenty-Five Years of Establishing
and Protecting the Rights of All Animals
This year marks 25 years of PETA's special brand of colorful, innovative, and influential activism.
Back in 1980, the year that PETA was founded, our "office" consisted of a phone and a typewriter in a basement apartment. PETA's first case was against a chicken slaughterhouse. Then came the groundbreaking and successful prosecution of Silver Spring monkeys experimenter Edward Taub.Two and a half decades and 850,000 members and supporters later, the name "PETA" is synonymous with "animal rights." PETA's street-theater style demonstrations, bold ads, and hard-hitting undercover investigations have grabbed the public's attention and started people thinking about the cruelty that animals endure on factory farms and fur farms, in laboratories and circuses. We are revolutionizing the way that the world views and treats animals.
