"Animal Rights Uncompromised: PETA's Tactics." PETA.org. People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals, n.d. Web. 29 Feb 2012.

This page is a short explanation of PETA’s tactics towards animal rights awareness from their own perspective. According to PETA, they go over the top with their activism because that is the only way to constantly get the attention of the media. The page is a very strong example of working with words so that the message you are trying to get across sounds more acceptable than many people might think it is.

Freedman, Lew. "PETA's Tactics Cruel to Humans." The Chicago Tribune. The Chicago Tribune, 17 Jun 2004. Web. 29 Feb 2012. .

This article is in strong contrast to PETA’s views on their tactics. The article describes a particular campaign PETA embarked on in which they insulted well known celebrities who were overweight. According to the author’s opinions, PETA is unforgiveable because they ignore the rights of humans to try and make the lives of animals better. The author does lose a bit of credibility because of his open hostility, but he does make some good points on the tactics of PETA that PETA prefers not to mention in their own descriptions.
