Won't someone think of the animals?

PETAs methods are regressive, publicity-hungry and seriously downright awful. They are squarely aimed at the 18-35 white, heterosexual male demographic, animals be damned. If there's one group who are most responsible for the bacon with everything meme that the internets are awash with, it's the 18-35 white, het men. By my expert (ahem) reckoning, at least. They're not likely to change thier attitudes about food quickly, and possibly not at all when presented with images of naked and nearly-naked women. It might be a cliché to say that in those circumstances, that group aren't exactly thinking about the ethics of the food they eat, as it would require more frontal lobe function than they are capabable of in that circumstance. If you buy into the men think about sex evey 7 seconds ideau that renders them, collectively, unable to function at a higher level when it comes to challenging beliefs and attitudes. Towards, say, the ethics of the food on their plate infront of them.

I am so not a fan of PETAs methods of campaigning for animal rights.

But the cause for which they are campaigning is no less legitimate because they offend people. Animal suffering still needs to be addressed and ended. Read Fast Food Nation - not a lettuce bikini in sight.

Or here's a crazy idea - go veg*an in spite of PETA and their antics. Render them pointless and obsolete; demonstrate that their tactics are outdated and that by appealing to your humanity and empathy instead, they might have got to you, but they failed. 

And here's a link to get you started: the Vegan Society.
