They do *some* good work - keeping the public aware of animal abuses and educating the public about ways they can contribute to animal welfare.
HOWEVER....
I do disagree with their all-or-nothing stance. Despite PETA's contentions to the contrary, there are ways we humans can use animals to our benefit without harming them. PETA would have us be hemp-wearing vegans who keep no animals in our houses besides the bugs that got in.
One example close to everyone's heart here: Snakes are kept to produce venom, which is then injected into horses and other animals to produce antivenom, which saves thousands of human lives. If the snakes and livestock are not kept captive, then human (and animal) lives will be lost.
And so on and on and on.
