'''People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals''' ('''PETA''') is an [[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 literally believes that human beings are animals, and that (non-human) animals should have the same rights as [[human beings]]. PETA opposes the human ownership of animals as pets or work animals (except for [[seeing eye dogs]]?). It proposes that people stop eating [[meat]]; see [[vegetarianism]].
