I've been thinking about this question since both communists and vegans are well known for being demonized by capitalist countries, and so I thought "maybe PETA might also be demonized since it's an animal rights organization". Of course, all I know about PETA is that they make parody games, and that everyone seems to dislike them, so feel free to prove that I am in fact stupid.

PETA is about as cool as a lib organization can be. Pretty much everything bad you hear about them is some bullshit that was either made up or completely misrepresented. For example, even in this very thread someone is telling you that PETA's shelters have very high euthanasia rates. What they're not telling you is that this is because many shelters simply won't take animals which are ill or injured enough to require euthanasia. They claim the moral high ground while letting innocent animals suffer, and demonize PETA for simply doing what needs to be done.
