People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is an American, non-profit corporation with about 300 employees and 3 million members founded in 1980 by Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco. PETA concentrates its efforts into area where animals mostly suffers – 1. on factory farms, 2. in the clothing trade, 3. in laboratories, 4. in the entertainment industry. Some people criticize PETA that it is too much offensive and some that is actually not. The best thing would be if people rather do something for animals yourself than criticize other efforts.
