PETA and PETA Europe are dedicated to establishing and protecting
the
rights of all animals. Like us, animals are capable of suffering and
have interests in leading their own lives; therefore, they are not
ours to use - for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation or
for any other reason. PETA affiliates throughout the world educate
policymakers and the public about cruelty to animals and promote an
understanding of the right of all animals to be treated with
respect.

PETA are a bunch of ignorant animal haters. They know nothing about
most of the animal for which they supposedly campaign (either their
history in breeding and husbandry). They operate by making a lot of
noise to appeal to the emotions of other similarly ignorant people.

Agreed.

It is worth understanding just what these people actually
believe, which is best done by quoting them directly. See,
for example, http://www.animalrights.net/quotes.html
or http://www.americananimalwelfare.com/rights.html
