About PETA

PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, boasts a global network of over 9 million members and supporters, making it the world’s largest animal rights organization. PETA’s primary focus lies in advocating for the welfare of animals across various sectors where they endure significant suffering over prolonged periods.

The organization concentrates its efforts on four key areas: laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, and the entertainment sector. Additionally, PETA addresses issues such as the inhumane treatment of animals classified as “pests” and the abuse of domesticated animals.

PETA employs a multifaceted approach to achieve its goals, including public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue missions, legislative advocacy, special events, celebrity engagement, and protest campaigns.

Established in 1993, the PETA Foundation serves as a support organization, facilitating the operational aspects of PETA’s initiatives. It encompasses departments such as IT, Development, and Interactive Media. While PETA and the PETA Foundation operate as separate entities, they collaborate closely to advance their shared mission.
