My brothers wife is obsessed with peta?!
Ive shared information with her, (not directly just posted a link on facebook) and she attacked me. She said, "Ive been a vegetarian for 25 years so I think I would know if PETA is good or not."
Do I just drop this? Is it not worth getting mad over?

I would just let it be. Vegetarianism can be a very touchy/sensitive subject sometimes because some people are more compassionate about it than others. She's married to your brother, not you. Whenever you're around her just avoid talking about your dietary choices.
Yeah, just drop it. I've been a vegetarian 5 years, and even I think PETA has such ridiculous stuff on their websites most of the time. I agree with some of the issues they put up, but they do over-exaggerate a lot of issues. They have been known to kill the animals themselves to make the videos they put on their website. Like I said, I'm a vegetarian and against animal cruelty, but PETA is not the organization to listen to.
Just ignore her. I'm a vegetarian and I hate Peta. I agree with what they aim for (vegetarian society and humane treatment to animals), but they go about it all wrong. They're radical. How do you expect more people to become vegetarians when you run around screaming and handing out bloody chickens to little kids? Just tell your brother's wife to keep her beliefs to herself, because you're already a vegetarian, there's no other beliefs she can force upon you.

I don't think it's worth getting mad over it, you would only be fuelling her anger.
This said, if it really bothers you perhaps try talking to her directly (and calmly) so as to explain how you (and probably others) see her and how her actions make other people react so negatively/strongly.
There's nothing much more you can do, unfortunately. If she's unwilling to change, no one can change her.
sounds to me like she fits right in with peta...i would just let it go..no need to try to change her, no more then she needs to try to change you. when she gets in your face with it simply tell her to get lost, you dont want to hear it. personally, every time she came over id make it a point to be chowing down on some big juicy piece of meat of some sort, but thats just me lol. i cant stand a fanatic. if she were to act like she had some sense, then sure, id respect her ways...but i can be as big a b***h as anyone if they want to push it.
When people get militant over a cuase the it alsmost turns into a religious crusade for them. I would just drop because no one takes peta very seriously due to their fanaticism and lame attempts to make a point. I would not be surprised if veganism was classified as a religion in the near future.
Let her be obsessed. Just don't let her change you. Personally I don't like PETA (they put a frikken nude woman in front of a crucifix, that just irks me immensely). They also say it is inhumane to milk cows, however you'll kill the cow if you don't milk it so I don't know where they god that idea from.
Being a vegetarian, you are inadvertantly siding with PETA because you do not support the cruelty of www.factoryfarming.com... let her be/not worth getting mad about.
Wow. Well then. Since she is married to your brother it might not be wise to tell her to go to **** but I would certainly avoid her. She is a fanatic and doesn't sound like she can be reasoned with. =/
My advice is to avoid her as much as possible. She sounds very unpleasant.
I also think she posts here on yahoo answers quite a bit.
olipam- nobody appreciates a plagiarist.
REPORTED!
Yea you should drop it, I dont see why your opinion would matter to her.
Avoid her if you can.
