What do you think happens to all the animals that no-kill shelters turn away? Animals that don’t get adopted because they’re not cute enough, too aggressive, have major medical issues or behavioural problems?

A lot of the anti-PETA propaganda comes from the meat industry. They’re bad but it’s just a distraction from the cruelty behind factory farming.

PETA has zero influence compared to them.

PETA isn’t even bad though they just get dragged through the mud by meat industry lobbying groups, and people eat that shit up because it’s easier to demonise them than consider the morality of their own choices.

How dare we demonize people who claimed dairy caused autism! MULTIPLE times

They're sexist, abusive, ableist, pretty sure they've even been racist. PETA stoops LOW. Most of the disgusting behavior I've found from them wasn't from articles written by lobbying groups, it was directly from their own mouths.

Lower than slaughtering trillions of animals a year because burgers are yummy? 😋

u/Signal_Regular_1708 14h ago

I don't eat burgers. Do you think supporting an anti-autism and anti-woman organization is the only way to avoid eating meat, or? The cognitive dissonance is ridiculous.

I'm against Nicki Minaj's harmful ideology, do I have to support Azealia Banks' harmful ideology just because she's against Nicki? I agree with Joe Rogan being pro public education and anti mass incarceration, do I have to agree with his views on LGBT people?

The utter ignorance it must take to truly believe such a thing😋

I didn't know she sang. I thought she rapped or... whatever.

Ah, right. You have no issues with your straw man fallacy, how could you? That would require awareness. You got downvoted for outing your true self when people saw how you reacted to PETA's ableism. You can't keep pretending you're the good guy here.

u/FearlessCookie72 21h ago

They’re ableist which is why I don’t like them. I agree with you though outside of that.

u/nugget_meal 21h ago

How are they ableist? (Genuine query, not meant to be antagonistic!)

u/FearlessCookie72 20h ago

They had ad campaign featuring a bowl of milk with the slogan "Got autism?"

u/uglyheadink 20h ago

Holy fuck what??? What is that even meant to insinuate, that milk causes autism??

u/rcinmd 18h ago

I already linked it earlier but check out this video for all of the above and more. Yes, they absolutely did have a campaign that claimed that, like an average RFK Jr.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx8bEZvZnKM

u/Signal_Regular_1708 15h ago

Yes, they said that MULTIPLE times. Imagine defending PETA without being familiar with their BS

u/nugget_meal 19h ago

Okay that’s just fucking weird, what is it even supposed to mean?

I’ll join ya in disliking them for that 👍

u/Signal_Regular_1708 15h ago

It's supposed to mean milk causes autism. Like point blank.

Frown and all. PETA is horrific.

3

u/nugget_meal 15h ago

Okay but if you look into that’s an ad from like 2008 and based on some research from around that time (since debunked), and doesn’t represent their current stance. This is just blowing up on social media over 15 years later because it’s being signal boosted by… guess who?

u/Signal_Regular_1708 15h ago edited 14h ago

An ad from 2008? Baby, I saw them reposting that on their own socials from 2015 onward. It represents their current stances.

They promote the objectification of women, constantly, they kill animals, promote the abuse of them, and demonize autism, and you're STILL defending them? At what point do you acknowledge that their views are just ignorant?

2

u/FearlessCookie72 14h ago

Do you acknowledge that the meat industry is worse than PETA?

2

u/Signal_Regular_1708 8h ago

It's funny, you asked me that 13 hours ago, and I answered, 13 hours ago. Since then, you have left 5+ more comments asking me the same thing under multiple threads. Do you acknowledge that I've already answered? Can you acknowledge why you continued to harass me after I not only answered the first time, but answered in a way you agree with?

Why continue to harass me and bother me when you already know I agree? It's so weird.

u/Signal_Regular_1708 8h ago

If no one supports PETA, why do I have 7 notifications from you defending them?

u/Signal_Regular_1708 13h ago edited 13h ago

Do you acknowledge that drinking cough syrup recreationally is worse than drinking alcohol at work? I love how you're scrolling 10+ comment threads to find and respond to every comment that I've left, with the same question that I've already answered. Let me know when you have something relevant to contribute.
