People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals (PETA) is a radical animal rights organization dedicated to promotin vegetarianism an awareness of animal rights. It was founded in 1981 by Ingrid Newkirk.
Over the years, PETA has done a lot of ridiculous animal-rights activities, especially comparing Jewish ritual slaughter to the Holocaust. This has led some prominent Jewish leaders to label this "chutzpah".
A lot of prominent celebrities support PETA, such as Richard Gere, Alec Baldwin, Paul McCartney, and Russel Simmons.
