People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has more than 1.8 million members and supporters, making it the largest animal rights organization in the world.
PETA focuses 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 also works 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.
