'''People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals''' ('''PETA''') is a [[liberal]] "[[animal rights]]" organization  focusing on what it calls the four main areas of [[animal]] suffering (factory farms, animal testing, [[clothing]] trade, and the [[entertainment]] industry), as well as other individual issues<ref name="petafaq">''PeTA's Mission Statement'' [http://www.peta.org/about/]</ref>. It was founded in 1981 by [[Ingrid Newkirk]].

PETA essentially believes that human beings are animals, and that (non-human) animals should have most of the same rights as [[human beings]].<ref>

PETA request that the [[Boy Scouts of America]] to retire the “Fishing” and “Fish and Wildlife Management” merit badges. ''"Promoting fishing teaches young people that hooking, maiming, suffocating, and killing is acceptable.”'' <ref>[http://www.peta.org/feat/merit/index.html Ask The Boy Scouts To De-Merit Fishing, PETA.org]</ref>. This is highly ironic due to their belief that Humans are nothing but animals. Essentially, they are saying that one "animal" should not hunt another even though meat is a natural part of a human's diet (given that Humans are omnivores. As such, this message is slightly hypocritical.

PETA have seemingly done everything they could possibly do to alienate the online community such as condemning ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' for having Batman kick vicious guard dogs in an act of self defence, making cocksuckingly idiotic viral campaigns which equate the lives of animals to human beings, as well as making tasteless flash parodies of family friendly video games, such as: ''Super Mario 3D Land'', which became "Mario Kills Tanooki", ''Cooking Mama'', which became "Mama Kills Animals" and ''Super Meat Boy'', which became "Super Tofu Boy". These games contain excessive amounts of blood and grotesque imagery. The reactions to these games were almost universally negative. The ''Tofu Boy'' parody inspired the developers of the actual ''Super Meat Boy'' to add Tofu boy as a playable character who isn't very strong or fast.

PETA often shows that for them are animals more worth than humans. After palestinian terrorists have detonated a bomb-laden donkey neat to a bus with Israelis, PETA´s chairman Ingrid Newkirk wrote a letter to [[Yassir Arafat]], in which they ask him to leave the animals out of this conflict. Newkirk does not criticized the murdering of people. She said: “It’s not my business to inject myself into human wars.”<ref>http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=9997</ref>
