People Eating Tasty Animals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
People Eating Tasty Animals is a website that parodies the animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). The PETA organization has been known to protest People for the ethical treatment of animals's protests throwing large pieces of ground beef, steaks, and bacon strips at the protesters.[citation needed]
They registered the domain name "peta.org" in 1996; in 2000 they were forced by a judge to surrender the domain name to PETA, and the site is now located on a personal web page
Other parodies of the PETA acronym are the similar "People for the Eating of Tasty Animals" and "Please Eat The Animals".
