To hear the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals tell it, they're just animal lovers. They usually claim they simply want to ensure our furry and feathered friends aren't abused. In reality, they call humans "a cancer" and insist we all become become vegetarians. They also say that all animal testing, necessary for testing new drugs, be eliminated. "Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it," says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk

Indeed, PETA's latest target is the world's largest medical experiment contracting lab, Covance of Vienna, Virginia. They've accused the company of committing horrors with laboratory monkeys, claiming they have video footage to back it up. Yet bizarrely the part they've released shows no such thing -- making a monkey out of PETA.

PETA, what can you say about them? Wow! I am going to go have a chicken sandwich, while fishing in leather boots.

It also means People for the Eating of Tasty Animals.

I can agree with that. Personally, I advocate getting rid of animal testing and start testing experimental drugs on a select group of people. I suggest starting in areas shaded blue:
