What is the purpose of PETA?

Answer 1

PETA is an organization that is against cruel treatment of animals, as suggested by its name (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Peta protests the rodeo, fur in fashion shows, KFC, etc. They also raid animal testing labs and go undercover in slaughterhouses.

Their trademark catchphrase is "Animals are not ours to eat / wear / experiment on / be entertained by / abuse in any way." Their viewpoints are considered controversial in that they represent such a small portion of the population as a whole, yet they try to influence legislation which affects the entire population.

Noted PeTA co-founder Ingrid Newkirk was once quoted as having said, "Humans have grown like a cancer. We're the biggest blight on the face of the earth."

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals This organization works to protect animals. Sadly, Peta doesnt care about dogs and cats. They take animals from shelters saying they will give them homes but they actually kill them..

PETA, has done many good things, mainly making it publicly unacceptable to wear fur (which experts say would have happened on its own), sadly they have degraded and Ingrid Newkirk is widely regarded as a nutcase (even by ex-peta members). As my vegetarian friend said, "PETA is a club for crazy vegetarians."

Answer 2

PETA's number one goal is to see to it that animals do not suffer. Other top goals include lobbying for animal rights and informing the public when cases of animal abuse and testing come to light.

Answer 3

PETA's Mission Statement, copied from their website is as follows:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 2 million members and supporters.

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 the clothing trade, in laboratories, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds, and other "pests" as well as cruelty to domesticated animals.

PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.

Answer 4

"People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals", say they are trying to help animals and run animal shelters with this "aim." However they euthanize more animals than they save because they believe people should not have pets. They say they help animals but they can not hide the required statistics. They would offer to take people's animals off their hands and shelter them, only to euthanize the animals before even arriving at the "animal shelter." Also you may have heard of the story where they threw a bag of kittens into water to potentially drown...which sadly, they did. Also, PETA threw animals in a bag into the dumpster, where they were found in the back of a Chinese restaurant.

Answer 5

I'm pretty sure they're main goal is to have no human contact with animals. For example no domestic animals or livestock, only wild animals as they "use" to be.
