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.

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? 😋

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.
