They just continue to push my buttons with PETA's State of the Union Undress campaign, and the recruitment of pornstars.
I can't think of a classier way of getting my message across than hiring strippers and prostitutes(let's get real here, pornstars are paid to have intercourse that's the definition of prostitution).
Oh ... oh, wait a minute I can compare a slaughterhouse to the holocaust. Yeah that'll show those Jews who the real victims are! PETA put out adverts on this very subject, and continually clash with Christianity over their Jesus ads as well despite the fact Jesus was not a vegetarian(hope this doesn't violate the no religion thing, I am not debating the existence, or non-existence just the way a religious icon is used by PETA).
Between the strippers, and pornstars(Jenna Jameson most notably) PETA's new tagline should be, -
" Save a chicken, suck a c***. "
Though if I could walk into a KFC and have a choice between the two I would probably eat alot less chicken. Until they legalize that however I am going to hope for that perfect irony that involves an Anti-PETA protestor burning down PETA's business, and their members private homes(just like ALF has begun to do against scientists who experiment on animals).
If you really want to help, donate to your local shelters not some global corporation more interested in making their views law and making money, it's why they kill 90% of the animals they "save". Dead animals require no upkeep, or expenses to find them new homes. They also strive to recruit as many celebs to endorse their bs as possible(I think the majority are financially compensated, they can't all be so blind). PETA is ruled by Ingrid Newkirk who said she'd throw away a cure to aids if it meant killing one mouse nevermind the fact the vice president of the corporation uses insulin on a daily basis(tested on animals, and derived from a pig), defended by the comment that it's acceptable because she's doing a greater good. Oh so if you're the vice president you can tap dance on a monkey corpse to keep yourself healthy but the rest of the people have to go without?
Two PETA employees were caught in my state(North Carolina, I was at the early proceedings of the case) illegally dumping euthanised animals into a grocery store dumpster(around 30 of them they acquired under false pretenses), they were temporarily banned from operating in the entire state. Something I hope to make permanent with my renewed letter campaign(as much as I would like to use violence, I would be no better than the punks PETA hires/brainwashes to torch buildings).
A fringe group with tax exempt status, and clear links to domestic terrorism(hell even the show Penn and Teller: Bullshit was able to find documentation showing this but the ACLU is jumping all over the FBI for investigating PETA).
The ACLU claims there are no links between the two, but Ingrid Newkirk celebrates ALF, and ELF both in her book and PETA has paid the court costs of convicted ALF members. One ALF members own father on Penn and Teller says he received an additional sum of money, he believes it was payment for his son burning down a testing lab(this guy's son now teaches how to build firebombs at animal rights seminars all over the country).
In my opinion there is ample proof for an investigation. Even the Senate Environment Committee Chairman singled out PETA as funding such groups.

http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ - PETA Kills Animals, one of the strongest Anti-PETA websites.
http://www.consumerfreedom.com/index.cfm - Center for Consumer Freedom, another strong Anti-PETA website. Despite smear attempts because it is funded by groups naturally opposed to PETA(Farmers, Meat Industry, etc but simple searches can verify the good majority of their claims), it still supports freedom of choice something PETA wants to strip away from all of us.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s109-3880 - 109th Congress Vote on the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. In a press release by PETA they claimed the following(I belong to their mailing list),
" Companies that abuse animals—including the meat, fur, circus, and vivisection industries—have convinced a small group of politicians to introduce a bill called the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA). If passed, this bill would allow the government to charge animal rights activists with massive fines and jail time for using nonviolent tactics such as civil disobedience, whistle-blowing, and undercover investigations. AETA already passed in the Senate and may be voted on in the House as soon as Monday, November 13. Animals need your help—please contact your representative today and tell him or her to vote “No? on this unconstitutional bill now. ".
