It's a mix of positive and negative.

I agree with them completely on ending animal cruelty in factory farming techniques and other places. I also agree with them on opposing whaling, promoting spaying or neutering your cats and dogs, and so on.

But there are other animal rights groups like HSUS who also work on these issues but without the anti-meat baggage that PETA has. The thing which distinguishes PETA from groups like HSUS is PETA's blanket opposition to hunting and blanket opposition to eating meat. On those issues I think they're wrong. That doesn't mean they're extremist, just wrong according to my own views. So mostly I don't pay much attention to PETA.
