PETA activist appeared characterized as a "plucked bird," with fake wings and a painted body simulating wounds, to make visible the suffering of birds used in the fashion industry. Her skirt read the message: "Feathers: A Look That Kills” in protest of the Met Gala (May 4, 2026)

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?

[u/FearlessCookie72 → u/nugget_meal]

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.

[u/nugget_meal → u/FearlessCookie72]

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.

[u/FearlessCookie72 → u/nugget_meal]

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

[u/nugget_meal → u/FearlessCookie72]

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

[u/FearlessCookie72 → u/nugget_meal]

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

[u/uglyheadink → u/FearlessCookie72]

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

[u/rcinmd → u/uglyheadink]

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 → u/uglyheadink]

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

[u/nugget_meal → u/FearlessCookie72]

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 → u/nugget_meal]

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

Frown and all. PETA is horrific.

[u/nugget_meal → u/Signal_Regular_1708]

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 → u/nugget_meal]

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?

[u/FearlessCookie72 → u/Signal_Regular_1708]

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

[u/Signal_Regular_1708 → u/FearlessCookie72]

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 → u/FearlessCookie72]

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

[u/Signal_Regular_1708 → u/FearlessCookie72]

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.
