Answers:
First you have to understand that PETA does not represent anyone except themselves!. They do not represent vegetarians nor vegans!. Not being a member of PETA does not diminish in anyway your being a vegetarian a human being!. As with any group, they have their agenda and people do not agree with those all the time!.

Consider PETA as the Al Qaida of the animal welfare movement and that their means do not justify their ends!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, for starters, they give vegetarians and vegans a bad name by doing radical and sometimes even unlawful acts of attention and protesting!. They're also really manipulative, because they show all these violent videos to impressionable people and children to coerce them into being veg and other things!. They also expect the whole to become vegan, which is somewhat ridiculous!. Moreover, they also euthanize their animals which is a little hypocritical!.

Now, don't get me wrong; I'm not one of those anti-PETA freaks that just flames them when possible!. But I just think it would be nice if they backed off a little and were somewhat more reasonable in their activism (instead of *creative* tactics that actually hurt their cause)!.

Even so, they do have good intentions and they mean well, so some of the people who hate PETA should back off too!. (PETA does have some good campaign materials and associates, too!. Their stickers are sorta cute too, aren't they!? :D )!.

So in a nutshell, PETA should look into what they're doing wrong to lose supporters and PETA haters need to chill!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Lots of reasons:
- They (supposedly - I haven't looked into it) put down tens of thousands of animals yearly!.
- They objectify women's bodies to sell themselves, and create ad campaigns that compare naked women to domesticated animals
- They have acted as a spokes-group for property destruction campaigns by Animal Liberation Front
- Their organization was charged with animal cruelty in the case of some euthanized kittens
- Although they are against animal testing in all circumstances, their leaders take medication produced through extensive animal testing

I personally don't find ALL of these upsetting, but a lot of people have problems with PETA because of it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because they are a bunch of extremists that take things way to far!. Nobody in their right mind supports animal cruelty, but PETA's definition of animal cruelty is far beyond most people's!. The worst part is their tactics range anywhere from ludicrous to criminal!. If you really want to help animals and prevent animal cruelty, I suggest you get involved in legitimate organizations such as the SPCA and the Humane Society!. Avoid associating yourself with lunatics!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've been a vegitarian for 4 months, and i think peta is a very positive org!. They enlighten the public on the crulty of animals!. I don't see why peta is dicriminated against!. It could be because, meat lovers, believe animals where make to be food!. That shows the brain washed side of man-kind!. I decided to be vegtarian because i can't stand the fact that, poor animal have to die so i can eat!. ugh! Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think people are against PETA for their radicalism!. Like!.!.!.!.they want total animal liberation!.!.they want animals to have their own rights and all!.!.which I am TOTALLY for!.!.but there are those people who believe that the life of a child is more valuable than the life of a lab rat!. It's a very controversial issue!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have had run ins with PETA in a few different situations!.!.!.and my problem is!.!.they assume way too much!.!.!.
They would prefer we not have pets at all because that makes animals submissive!.!.!. They tend towards radical, and most are opposed to radical!. I have worked for an "animal show" and they were protesting mistreatment!. The animals were treated better than their human hosts!.!.!. PETA didnt speak up for our protection ;-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because they are media whores more interested in collecting donations from well-meaning but misinformed teenagers like you than they are in actually doing anything about animal cruelty!.

They also associate themselves with known dometic terrorist groups like ELF and ALF by funneling money to them through secret channels to carry out the dirty work PETA itself doesn't want to be directly associated with!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know, I don't know what people have against them!!.!.!.!. And some of the answers that were put here before mine like: ''they're freakin' crazy''! It still doesn't give an answers it just tells you that they're anti-peta!. Personally I think PETA are great!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't hate them, its them that made me realise about animal testing, its just they write a bit aggressively, so it sorta gives vegetarians that "tree hugger" sorta name!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm a veggie and I don't hate them, I think they are a brilliant organisation that does wonderful work and I support them 100% Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think you are misinformed!. I am a vegetarian (life-long) and also a supporter of PETA!Www@FoodAQ@Com

PETA is freakin crazy

EDIT CHange that alot of the Petites are crazy (PETA followers)Www@FoodAQ@Com
