PETA
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, founded in 1980 by Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco. Based in Norfolk, Virginia, PETA has over 9 million members and supporters. The organization is dedicated to ending speciesism and advocates for the belief that animals should not be exploited for food, clothing, experimentation, or entertainment. PETA engages in various activities to promote animal rights, including public education campaigns, investigative reporting to expose cruelty, legislative advocacy for animal welfare laws, and direct animal rescue efforts. The organization also encourages companies to adopt cruelty-free practices and provides resources for a vegan lifestyle, including guides for cruelty-free cosmetics and clothing. PETA's "PETA Approved" certification identifies brands that meet ethical standards.
