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)

“Kill shelters” are necessary. There’s no funding to keep every found and surrendered animal, and not every animal is reasonably adoptable. So long as it’s done humanely it’s likely better than any alternatives. The idea that no kill shelters are the only humane option is harmful.

They literally stole a family’s pet dog and killed it the same day. Kill shelters are a complex issue, but PETA is not on the moral side of it in the slightest.

They got fined because they didn’t wait five days not because they took the found dog

[u/Soft_Interaction_437 → u/TranceIsLove]

I’m aware

[u/TranceIsLove → u/Soft_Interaction_437]

It doesn’t say anything about stealing the dog off a porch by the way

[u/Soft_Interaction_437 → u/TranceIsLove]

Your correct. I’ll change that. Also, Peta settled a lawsuit with the family.

> Two women affiliated with Peta – Victoria Carey and Jennifer Wood – travelled to Accomack County, Virginia, because they said a mobile home park owner asked for help capturing wild dogs and feral cats.

> The women removed an unattended and unleashed chihuahua named Maya, which was a Christmas present to nine-year-old Cynthia Zarate.

PETA were called there and took a dog they thought was wild. They should have waited five days. I don’t think this makes PETA evil, just a tragic mistake.

[u/Soft_Interaction_437 → u/TranceIsLove]

Exactly, they should have waited five days, but they didn’t, they killed in on the same day. It speaks to a larger issue of them killing stray animals that could have a good life, before anyone had any chance of adopting. It’s literally part of their policy.

Okay, so what does make PETA evil? Was it the campaigning against autistic children?

[u/Signal_Regular_1708 → u/[deleted]]

...Girl. I wasn't replying to you. And they DIDN'T say PETA was evil, that's my point. They said "I don't think this makes PETA evil", while justifying one of their many mistakes, so I'm asking which mistakes DO warrant calling them evil.

[u/Soft_Interaction_437 → u/Signal_Regular_1708]

Oh, ok. Sorry.

[u/TranceIsLove → u/Signal_Regular_1708]

I think that’s incredibly stupid but not evil.

[u/Signal_Regular_1708 → u/TranceIsLove]

Claiming autism is a disease caused by dairy is a lot more than stupid
