For the first time since the early days of the space program, in the early 1950s, the American space agency, NASA, will be conducting a series of tests on monkeys. The goal of the experiments will be to test and see whether their complex physiology, which is very similar to our own, could endure the rigors of a long-... |

The entire world must be by now familiar to one of PETA’s most long-lasting campaigns against fur. Called “I’d rather go naked than wear fur,” it features only celebrities wearing absolutely nothing in what is meant to be a silent protest against wearing fur – and quite an efficient and ... |

Not long ago, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) unveiled a huge billboard in Jacksonville, Florida, which called fat women “whales” as it urged people to go vegetarian to lose the blubber. Upset about the ongoing “fat discrimination” that PETA resorts to on a regular basis to ... |

Pamela Anderson has been part of more than one PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) campaign, the former “Baywatch” bombshell often lending her voice, face and body to the organization for a good cause. This time, with the Cruelty Doesn’t Fly campaign, things aren’t any different... |

PETA is no stranger to shock tactics because, as of late, it has discovered that it is the best way to get the media attention. Granted, the organization does not admit to resorting to the shock factor to be heard, saying instead it likes to speak out the truth no matter how hurtful. It’s doing the same with an... |

Lady Gaga, with the kind of exposure she enjoys in the media and especially given that whatever she does seems bound to make the headlines, could make a wonderful addition to a cause, if she were convinced to embrace it. This is precisely what PETA is hoping for, currently courting the singer to pose for posters from... |

First, US President Barack Obama was the target of a massive Internet campaign advocating for beets, a vegetable Obama had an open aversion for. Now, he has come to the attention of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals group, after killing a fly during an interview with CNBC, and even feeling good enough a... |

At the beginning of this week, fashion giant Hermes announced the decision to start its own crocodile breeding farms, as the only way possible to face increasing demand from customers, some of who have to wait for as much as three years to get a leather Hermes bag. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) h... |

Pink has never been afraid or ashamed to speak her mind on whatever bothered her, and this is all the more true when it comes to something that goes against her beliefs as one of the biggest PETA supporters. When she recently met Kanye West, for instance, she was extremely upset about his insisting the fashion indust... |

We aren't living in a perfect world, as it is host to a wide variety of cruelty acts. PETA, or People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, have fought for quite some time against cruelty to animals and have shown on numerous occasions that they aren't afraid to take on video games, for better or for worse. We... |

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is no stranger to controversy, sometimes this being the only method by which the group can draw media attention to the problems that require a solution. From having models standing in window shops with nothing on them but large cardboards bearing animal-friendly mess... |

We reported yesterday that a few outraged teenagers decided to start a petition against Activision and its Call of Duty shooter franchise. With the recent bad publicity that video games have gotten, you would think they were against depicting violence against people in games, but actually they didn't like the fa... |

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has resumed its protests against the McDonald's corporation, with its renowned McCruelty campaign, which blames the giant fast-food restaurant chain of killing the animals it uses for its products in inhuman ways, even though alternatives exist.

He’s often been called “the Chanel supremo,” and his many eccentricities have undoubtedly not gone by unnoticed. Yet, his latest interview for Radio 4 Today program, as cited by The Telegraph, has certainly drawn all kinds of negative attention towards him, especially as he tackles the topics of siz... |

The Olsen twins have always enjoyed a rather curious position in today's fashion world. Whether it's their fashion sense and personal styles in general, their choices of particular clothes and accessories or merely their attitudes towards the rest of the world, Olsen fans or not, all of these have stirred u... |

Britney Spears is on track to getting at least a shred of her old popularity back - however, the singer's die-hard fans would do well not to hold their breath on it: Britney's road to recovery is set to be slow and there's no telling if she will ever be able to reach even one half of the success she on... |

Leona Lewis has become quite a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic. The British singer, who won the UK talent show "The X Factor" and went on to conquer the hearts of Americans and Brits alike, has become the first British female to score a US number one single in 20 years, and has won glowing praise from such Am... |

We all know PETA loves undressing women - the more famous, the better - and along the years, we've had to thank them for bringing quite a lot of smokin' hot semi-naked celebrities on their anti-fur poster ads. Pammy Anderson, Alicia Silverstone, Ditta von Teese, Holly Madison, Sadie Frost - there are just a... |

I think the people at PETA must be either suffering from some sort of massive trauma, or they've been in a coma for the past year or so. Otherwise I can't explain how come they put together their little list of 2007's worst dressed people and they left out the very person who defines animal cruelty - i... |

Buckle up, everyone - the PETA train is coming to town! No, don't laugh - the people who run the famous fur-hating organization have put together their 2008 'Worst-Dressed' List - and believe me, it's not pretty. You know, I always thought that whoever is behind PETA must have a wicked sense of hu... |

Someone should probably get Sharon Stone into therapy - and fast, because I'm pretty sure she's addicted to fur - or else she's got a fur management problem. Otherwise I can't possibly imagine why she'd insist on going out in public wearing what looks like tons of dead animals covering her sk... |

PETA sure knows how to show their pointy teeth and make fun of the people they hate. I mean, I always suspected that the PETA folks were a merry bunch, if only because they had the chance to stare at all those celebrity naked photos before releasing them. You know, being that close to the original shots of Alicia Sil... |

The people at PETA must definitely be among the happiest on the planet. I mean, think of all the celebrities they had a chance to work with - and when I say "work" I actually mean see them up close, stark naked. I'm sure it must be interesting to be in close proximity to Pammy's boobies - not to mention to ... |

Dita, it seems, is a classy lady all the way to the tips of her fingers. And I'm nor being ironic - she is, in fact, one of the most opinionated entertainers around - even if she also likes to be discrete about it. But even so, she doesn't change her mind easily, and knows how to set boundaries so that she ... |

Alicia Silverstone declares her love for simple things by joining an ad campaign for PETA. Oh, and I forgot to mention one tiny detail - she's completely naked, in some really hot pictures with her getting slowly out of a pool, water running down her body, the whole classy (and classic) act. You get the idea - y... |

About time, too. Sometimes I wonder whether I'm the only one looking at the poor pooches and asking myself 'Are they anything more for the two than mere accessories to match their earrings, hair and bikinis (though in Britney's case, not sure they've invented a polka-dot purple dog yet)?'. It... |

Pamela Anderson is back again and looking hotter than ever! You might have heard of her KFC anti-campaign, launched in 2005 and which, so far, has failed to have positive and radical results. Via 'Boycott KFC', the blonde bombshell is trying to raise awareness on the tragic and deploring conditions in whic... |

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA to put it more simply, have found the perfect recipe to getting people's attention in what regards an issue that should concern us all: posters with naked chicks. The idea is positively brilliant but the latest campaign just goes to show that there is alwa... |
