People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals?

Is it necessary to be a total vegan to belong to PETA?
Answers:
I don't believe they require it. However, before joining an organization you should do research on them. PETA has a long history of contradicting the very things they supposedly stand for. If they had it their way, it would be illegal to have any kind of pet. They are also a bit radical at times. In once instance, they released dogs at a dog show so they could "be free". A very lovely dog was hit by a car and they said he was better off dead than being in captivity.
Stay away from peta.
No, it's not necessary. PETA does suggest cruelty free living but they won't deny you membership if you eat dairy products.
PETA solicits me for contributions about weekly, and I love the red meat!
It's not, but it seems a bit hypocritical. PETA is full of hypocrisy, though.
Honestly if you want to help animals, I'd suggest supporting your local humane society. They need your money and support far more than PETA does.
PETA has an agenda that is probably different than what you think it is. If you love animals, you should be concerned about their welfare, not their rights.
