Our Mission Statement

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, and PETA entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally.

PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment business. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and other animals who are often considered "pests" as well as cruelty to domesticated animals.

PETA works through public education, investigative newsgathering and reporting, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.

The World Animal Protection organization states that “The global trade of wild animals is cruel and puts our health and the world economy at risk.” We should demand our world leaders to act now to end the suffering of animals and protect our health (World Animal Protection). They also state that “Each year, millions of wild animals are captured from their natural habitats or born into captivity, just to become pets. Our houses are not suitable homes for a wild animal.” People should stop buying exotic animals as pets (World Animal Protection).

PETA is an organization that is been fighting for animals. “PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry.” (PETA). They also work “...through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.” (PETA). Their most recent victory was in October 5th 2020 about an online retailer Carbon38 banning fur because they were putting animals in tiny, filthy cages and then killing them for their fur.

Animal rights are rights given to animals. For example, no dogs fights, skinning an animal to make clothing. The movement started in the United Kingdom because many people started to notice how the animals were being treated and so they made laws about not hurting the animals. The movement later spread all over the world and many countries started to make laws to ban animal cruelty.
