To hear the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals tell it, they're just animal lovers. They usually claim they simply want to ensure our furry and feathered friends aren't abused. In reality, they call humans "a cancer" and insist we all become become vegetarians. They also say that all animal testing, necessary for testing new drugs, be eliminated. "Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it," says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk
Indeed, PETA's latest target is the world's largest medical experiment contracting lab, Covance of Vienna, Virginia. They've accused the company of committing horrors with laboratory monkeys, claiming they have video footage to back it up. Yet bizarrely the part they've released shows no such thing — making a monkey out of PETA.
A PETA infiltrator made secret tapes of monkeys and their handling over an 11-month period, then the group chopped it down to a select 28 minutes, then cut down to just a few minutes which it displays on its website — presumably "the worst of the worst." Yet other than a slight slap, we see nothing direr than workers THREATENING a few unruly animals whereupon the threats are clearly not carried out. Some images are as innocuous as a monkey pacing in its cage.
"If that's the worst they've been able to find after almost a year, I'd have to guess Covance has a first class facility," says Foundation for Biomedical Research President Franki Trull. Certainly nobody has a greater interest in protecting those animals than Covance. Real abuse would also violate the Animal Welfare Act, USDA Animal Welfare Regulations and Standards and send drug companies to labs that take better care of their animals.
Despite this backfiring publicity stunt, however, PETA remains both a savvy and dangerous organization. Fortunately, lawmakers and PETA targets — including Covance — seem to be finally realizing how serious the PETA and animal rights problem is.

They are the modern day equivalent of a communist front group.
Their true goal is to destroy capitalism and the free market.
This organization's hypocrisy is best illustrated by their "sequential" agenda. They reveal parts of their ultimate agenda slowly and only after they have passed certain milestones. For instance, they credit themselves with destroying the fur fashion industry, even though it thrives outside of America.
Someday they will reveal their plan to end "pet slavery" or pet ownership, but not yet! They still need the money they get from animal lovers, who are for the most part pet owners. So, they can't really begin that campaign until they can somehow brainwash pet owners into giving up their animals, and continuing the stream of cash donations. Just how they are going to do that, is anyone's guess.
Me too. Why should innocent animals be tortured and harmed? Why not convicted murderers instead? Why not Charles Manson? Why not that John Cooey pig who assaulted and killed Jessica Marie Lunsford? That would make a heck of a lot more sense to me, and the test results on human beings would be much more valuable than the test results on animals.
It's all Bush's fault!
They use anti-capitalist rhetoric, but their real gripe is that the means of production exist at all. No utopian vision of a socialist future here.
Here I've been thinking it stood for:
People
Eating
Tasty
Animals!!!
Thanks for the ping!
Here at their epicenter we call it: People Embarrassing the Tidewater Area.
Showed the gross depravity of PETA for all to see.
