PETA, founded by Ingrid Newkirk, it is the largest organization for animals" rights in the world. It has over three fourths of a million members and has put an end to many cruel unnecessary scientific experiments. In addition to, Ingrid Newkirk none the less, has gotten her feet wet many times for a point to prove to people for animals that involves cruelty, she has been arrested, twenty times. Mainly the goal of PETA Org. is to create total animal liberation; this means no meat or dairy, of course; but it also means no aquariums, no circuses, no hunting or fishing, no fur or leather, and no medical research using animals.

In some school districts of the U.S. school board officials have banned and replaced milk machines with soda machines from Elementary and Middle schools (they consider this a "healthy alternative"). Which does not make sense to any "normal person" and even PETA. This is because milk contains more fat, sugar, cholesterol, sodium, and especially more calories than soda. In schools across the country, there are many restrictions on soda, which is fat free, less sugar, cholesterol, sodium, and less calories than milk. Almost school lunches are already high in fat and cholesterol; they do not need the alternative to drink high fat and cholesterol filled milk.
