Thema: PETM- People for Ethical Treatment of Monsters

[Levold]

Group Name: People For Ethical Treatment of Monsters.
Pronounced Pet-'em by members. Pronounced You stupid *&^%&$$!! by Bureau 13/Department 7/Delta Green/Initiative
Agents/various encountered Scoobies

Number of Members: Fluctuates. Drops rapidly until there is a supernatural encounter near a major university, or in Berkeley CA.

Nature of Members: Fluffy headed people who feel that monsters are an ecological response to the depredations of humanity, and a natural control for humanity's over-
population. Sentimental people who feel that, just because a creature wants to suck out your insides and wear your skin for a disguise, this doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings, too.

Organization: Loose cells, organized by local enthusiasts, often quickly exterminated.

Game Role: To make your players spit things all over the table, to make ruthless fun of "people for the ethical treatment of animals," or other people who see humanity as a
blight and wear Birkenstocks.

World Role: McVictims.

Relative Influence: Slight, although they can get into delicate situations and make them worse/stupider/weirder.

Public or Secret? Public until members of B13/The Initiative/Delta Green/Department Seven/various Scoobies get a hold of them.

Publicly Stated Goal: To ensure that vampires, werewolves, demons, face-huggers, brain-eaters, bone-suckers, and everything else nasty and brutal is treated fairly by
society and gets its day in court.

Relative Wealth: Not much. Often, members eschew materialism and capitalism.

Group Advantages: Earnest belief in silly things.

Contacts: Very often a cell of this organization will crop up after a potential member (probably already a PETA supporter) encounters the supernatural. In this case, he may
already be in proximity to agents of B13/The Initiative/Delta Green/Department Seven/various Scoobies.

Special Abilities: Members of this group can rationalize the most fatuous, slap happy, and self destructive ideas, and act on them sincerely.

Group Disadvantages: McVictims!

Special Disadvantages: They tend to pursue monsters that see them as food to try and explain their cause. Many monsters take this as a request to be eaten.

Who Belongs: People who believe humanity is too numerous, arrogant, and inherently destructive, and that horrifying creatures provide a valid ecological balancing mechanism.

Who Doesn't Belong: People who value human life.

Those Who Favor Them: Monsters (incredulous, but supportive), PETA.

Public Face: Clueless hippies and ultra liberals somewhere past the bounds of sanity.

History of the Group: First started in 1983, when members of a PETA organization were attacked by a vampire and then saved. Realizing the implications, the original members of
the organization researched monsters and such, and soon formed Pet - 'Em. Not long afterwards, they were all eaten by vampires.

Apparently, despite all efforts, their notes and writings keep turning up. (Agents suspect that vampires with nasty senses of humor preserve them and reintroduce them to
vulnerable groups.)
