My Favorite PETA Web Sites

Whenever I need information on an animal-related subject, I go to PETA’s Web site, PETA.org.  Everything from the latest campaigns to vegan recipes can be found—often right on the front page. I find PETA’s Web site to be one of the most helpful out there, and I use it regularly as a research tool. There are too many great sections on PETA’s site to list them all here, so I am going to give you a few of my favorites.

PETA’s front page: PETA has its most important campaigns of the moment on top of the front page, the first thing you see when you open up the site. If you write letters to voice your opinion, boycott products to speak out with your dollars, or get out on the streets to protest out loud, this is the area that lets you know what PETA is doing at the moment to help animals in need. The front page will guide you to countless other pages within PETA’s site—everything you could possibly want to know about animals and about PETA, including fun places such as Veg Cooking, PETA Living, and the famous PETA Files, can be accessed through the front page.

Action Center: This page has a concise listing of issues that you need to address! You can also join PETA’s Action Team, and PETA will inform you through e-mail of upcoming events and demonstrations in your area, breaking news, urgent alerts, and tips on how you can improve the lives of animals every day. You will also find PETA’s victories here—those campaigns that have successfully stopped animal abuse. As all animal activists know, we need to hear about the victories to keep our spirits up and our minds and bodies pushing ahead to make even more victories possible for animals.

Media Center: Go to the media center when you want to see what PETA is doing in the news. All PETA’s public service announcements are here, along with current news releases, campaign updates, and new advertisements, including billboards the group has put up. This site will show you what PETA is doing to get the word out about animal abuse.

PETA TV: This page is extremely informative. You will see the horrors that animals endure day in and day out in circuses and vivisection labs and on factory farms. You will see celebrities as they speak out against animal abuse. You will see videos that PETA has produced on just about every animal rights subject possible to bring the abuses out into the public eye and change minds in the process.

Shopping: I love to shop, and where better to spend my money than at my favorite animals rights shopping page? If you read my blog about animal rights T-shirts,  you now know where I buy my fashionable AR advertisements! My favorite cookbooks have come from PETA’s shopping site as well as many of my household and office items. If you like to shop until you drop, this is the site for you.

Donate: This is the section I really hope you all will visit—and I hope you will give generously. You may not think it’s as fun or as sexy as some of the other pages on PETA’s site, but this page is probably the most important. It’s easy to give online, and it will make you feel great to know that you are contributing to PETA’s continuing fight to end animal abuse in our lifetime.

I have not even begun to cover all the pages you should go to on PETA’s Web site for information, whether it be critical to helping animals or just fun facts and yummy vegan recipes.  I guarantee that if you explore PETA’s Web site, in just a short while, you will have learned something you probably didn’t know before.

I would love to hear about some of your favorite pages on the PETA Web site.
