PETA
I believe that PETA is an awesome organization and I agree fully with their actions. I consider myself an animal rights activist and love that PETA works so hard to prove that animal cruelty is wrong. Vegetarianism can be very beneficial, especially to those poor little cows, chickens, and pigs that are brutally slaughtered everyday to be processed and fed to humans who don't even know how diseased or awfully treated the animal was. Also, being a vegetarian makes for a healthier lifestyle free from the harmful chemicals present in processed meat. GO VEG!

I've heard that PETA ultimately wants to "liberate" domestic pets. I have heard the president of the organization speak on this topic, but I didn't see it on the website. This idea, to me, is rather extreme. As an animal lover myself, I also worry that PETA's tactics are sometimes so extreme that they alienate more people than they educate. Is the place of animals in the larger "hierarchy" an issue that reasonable people can disagree with?
It is an issue people can disagree with, but who can really make a reasonable argument? The way that people buy and eat their food is not "natural" so how can a person defend themself by saying that it is unreasonable to make animals equal to humans? I just don't understand how some people think that a cow, chicken, or pig is put on this Earth for humans to eat. We do not actually kill the animal, and in this day and age it is not neccessary to eat meat to survive so why can't an animal be equal to a human? The place of animals in the larger "hierarchy" could be disagreed with, but not reasonably.
