People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals
|
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with 6.5 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. PETA staffers have had their articles and opinion pieces published in everything from BUST magazine to The Wall Street Journal, and several staffers post pieces to OpEdNews.com using this account.

Zoos' dirty little secret The public killing of the 18-month-old giraffe Marius at the Copenhagen Zoo should be a wake-up call: Zoos are businesses whose "merchandise" is living, feeling animals, and unwanted animals are routinely unloaded in unsavory ways.

Would you give your right arm (or leg) for a steak? Studies have shown that eating a low-fat, high-fiber, plant-based diet can help control--and even prevent--diabetes. This November, National Diabetes Month, is the perfect time to go vegan.

"Saving" Animals at Any Cost Can Be a Dangerous Proposition Making animal shelters "no-kill" is certainly a worthy goal. But halting euthanasia at shelters before reducing the number of animals who are born creates more problems than it solves and leaves many animals to suffer a fate far worse than a painless death.

A 'snip' in time saves felines June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month--the perfect time to save a life by adopting a cat from an animal shelter or reputable breed-rescue group. But if we want to one day celebrate "There Are No More Shelter Cats in Need of Adoption" Month, spaying and neutering are the keys.

Vegan is the 'new green' for Earth Day Planting trees and cleaning up rivers won't mean much in the long run if we continue to trash the planet with our meat habit. To truly "go green," we must start with what's on our plates.

Think your animals are safe in your backyard? Think again Every day, countless animals are used for target practice, stolen for experimentation, used as bait for dogfighting and worse after being left outside alone for "just a few minutes." Protect your animals: Keep them indoors.

Crufts: Making dogs suffer for 'beauty' Dog shows such as Westminster and Crufts put dogs at risk. Dog breeders routinely use inbreeding and genetic manipulation to achieve certain "desirable" traits, and as a result, as many as one in four purebred dogs is plagued with a serious genetic health problem.

A mouse is not a man--or a tool A new study has found that decades of burn, sepsis and trauma experiments on mice have led nowhere. It's time to switch to sophisticated human-focused research that will help people rather than waste resources and needlessly harm animals.

In the year of the snake, shed your skins Every year, millions of snakes, lizards, crocodiles and alligators are violently killed for their skins. You can help snakes and other reptiles in the Year of the Snake and beyond by not wearing them.

For chained dogs, it's a long, cold, lonely winter Hidden out of sight in the backyard, many chained dogs go without proper food and water, shelter and veterinary care, and they suffer through all weather extremes. If there are chained dogs in your neighborhood, please encourage their guardians to take them inside, where they can be a part of the family.

In 2013, let's remember: Kindness is not a finite commodity Compassion is not something that gets used up and must be doled out sparingly. Standing up for the defenseless of all species helps make the world a kinder place for us all.

'No-kill' is no solution to animal homelessness Every caring person wants to end the need for euthanasia of homeless dogs and cats. But the only real and humane way for communities to become no-kill is to first become no-birth--by passing mandatory spay/neuter legislation and by outlawing the unregulated breeding and sale of animals by breeders, pet shops and puppy mills.
