oh, and get this:

PETA regularly asks towns and cities whose names, in its view, are suggestive of animal exploitation to change their names. In April 2003, they offered free veggie burgers to the city of Hamburg, New York, in exchange for changing its name to Veggieburg; the town declined the offer. PETA also campaigned in 1996 to have the town of Fishkill, New York, change its name, claiming the name suggests cruelty to fish. (The root "kill", found in many New York town names, is Dutch for "creek".)[142] In October 2003, the group urged the town of Rodeo, California, to change its name because it invokes images of the sport of rodeo, which they claim is harmful to animals. As a replacement name, they suggested Unity, an acknowledgment of Union Oil's role in saving the area economically in the late 19th century. PETA offered to donate $20,000 worth of veggie burgers to local schools if the name was changed. The town declined.[143]
In 2008, Jennifer Thornburg, a PETA intern, legally changed her name to CutoutDissection.com, which is the same URL as a PETA website.[144] Prior to this, three other PETA staff members or activists have changed their names to PETA website names. In 2003, Karin Robertson, a PETA Fish Empathy campaign worker, legally changed her name to GoVeg.com.[145] In 2005, Chris Garnett, a PETA youth outreach coordinator, changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.[146] Early in 2008, activist Rachel Feather changed her name to Rachel Fishinghurts.[147]
One pamphlet, "Your Daddy Kills Animals!"[156] showed a cartoon father gutting a fish, and stated: "Since your daddy is teaching you the wrong lessons about right and wrong, you should teach him fishing is killing. Until your daddy learns it's not fun to kill, keep your doggies and kitties away from him. He's so hooked on killing defenseless animals, they could be next."
PETA created the "Got Beer?" campaign, a parody of the Got Milk? campaign. The advertisements urged college students to "wipe off those milk moustaches and replace them with. . . foam." Mothers Against Drunk Driving and college officials of campuses targeted by the campaign complained that the campaign encouraged underage drinking. As a result of the criticism, PETA halted the campaign in March 2000.[158] In 2002, the effort to promote beer over milk was revived by PETA after a two year hiatus.[159]
Video games
Since 2007, PETA has created video games to support their campaigns. The games have been based on similar popular video games such as Super Mario Bros. or Frogger but depict Nugget and Chickette trying to save Pamela Anderson from Colonel Sanders, liberating lobsters, or throwing tomatoes at fur wearers. Several PETA video games include The Travelling Nugget Game[178], Lobster Liberation[179] Bloody Burberry – the Fur Fighters[180] Super Chick Sisters[181] and Make Fred Spew, and Revenge of the PETA Tomatoes.[182]Recently, PETA has also made a video game that spoofs the popular Cooking Mama franchise called Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals.

Words probably can't express how many other people on MFK hate PETA, but I will try: A lot of people here do.
