Twenty-Five Years of Establishing and Protecting the Rights of All Animals
This year marks 25 years of PETA's special brand of colorful, innovative, and influential activism.  Back in 1980, the year that PETA was founded, our "office" consisted of a phone and a typewriter in a basement apartment.
PETA's first case was against a chicken slaughterhouse. Then came the groundbreaking and successful prosecution of Silver Spring monkeys experimenter Edward Taub.
Two and a half decades and 850,000 members and supporters later, the name "PETA" is synonymous with "animal rights." PETA's street-theater style demonstrations, bold ads, and hard-hitting undercover investigations have grabbed the public's attention and started people thinking about the cruelty that animals endure on factory farms and fur farms, in laboratories and circuses. We are revolutionizing the way that the world views and treats animals.
