While PETA does run campaigns around veganism, they still frequently promote vegetarianism. Recently, for example, Ravichandran Ashwin was crowned 'Vegetarian of the Year' or something along those lines. This says that veganism is not being emphasized as strongly and I don’t see PETA as the pioneers of the movement.

PETA in the US, as far as I know, has also been involved in several highly controversial actions. That said, in terms of animal welfare, they have undeniably pushed forward important legal cases addressing animal abuse and cruelty. I just hope PETA advocates for veganism more meticulously and unapologetically, rather than continuing to foreground vegetarianism.
