A prominent and radical animal-activist organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is known for its close association with and funding for animal rights terrorist groups such as the Earth Liberation Front and individuals linked to criminal protests such as arsonist Rodney Coronado. PETA workers have been known to publish the personal information of researchers and government officials (“doxxing”) with the intention of intimidating them and encouraging harassment at their private homes. In 2017 PETA targeted a young researcher at Yale University by protesting outside her place of work, threatening her online using social media, and even went as far as publishing her image and home address to the public. PETA is a pioneer on the legal frontier of animal rights radicalism, filing lawsuits to establish personhood for animals, claiming they are “enslaved.”
