PETA is okay with animal cruelty so long as they’re the ones doing the cruelty.
PETA is the dog that caught the car. It has no clue what to do now, and it continually hurts itself in its confusion.
There was an episode of Penn & Teller: Bullshit! all about PETA. Gives a good overview of what they’re really all about.
Yeah they were killing more dogs and cats then kill shelters. Because fucking sociopaths. They don’t even believe in pets.
They run no rejection animal shelters. Since people in general buy too many pups from breeders other animal shelters have to reject many animals that people neglect and try to get rid of. PETA does not reject any of those that get rejected by other shelters. This means they have a huge overflow of animals that people bring there. Sadly that means euthanizing ones that they do not have the money to support. If you are pro-pets and do not fund PETA to support all the neglected pets it feels a bit hypocritical to criticize them for euthanizing when the problem is that there is too many neglected pets.
“They like to bite off more than they can chew so of course they have to spit it all over the table”
I understand, and agree, that the root of the problem is the amount of abandoned animals but I still think that what peta does is wrong. By accepting more animals than they can care for they are robbing those animals the chance to find a shelter that can actually take them in, or someone willing to adopt them, or a temporary foster home, even a life as a stray could be better than death IMO. Euthanasia should only be used as a last resort, I dont think peta is doing enough to exhaust their options and, I reiterate, they are not allowing others to try by pretending to shelter those animals. A no rejection shelter that kills the animals they cant care for is just a regular shelter with extra (and careless) steps.

I can barely fund myself
I think PETA euthanizing the animals is better than pet owners creative ways to kill their pets because shelters won’t take them.
The other shelters are already full, that’s why they take in so many animals. They are the last stop.
I genuinely don’t know what people expect PETA to do in this context.
Spending more resources on better facilities for the animals and less (preferably none) on AI slop ad campaigns and publicity stunts would be a good start.
Euthanasia should only be used as a last resort
That is… that is what it is now, basically? People in animal shelters generally don’t want to kill the animals, but what are they going to do, if they have places for fifty, and five hundred in need? They are killing them, because it is the last resort. There just are not enough resources for all the dogs - or other animals - needing help.
If you are pro-pets, don’t buy “designer” puppies. Get your animals from a shelter, or from rescues.
I absolutely adore betta fish, but I sure as hell won’t buy one. I don’t want to support keeping fish in tiny cups.
Frankly, what we need is legislation that forces pet stores to ensure that any animal kept with an intent to sell mush be housed and displayed in an appropriate enclosure for it to survive its entire natural life. That way the animals don’t suffer if they aren’t sold, and people get a good idea of what an actual appropriate setup looks like for that animal. I see too many nightmares on Craigslist and Facebook where people are keeping a 5ft corn snake in a 10 gallon enclosure because that’s what the baby corn snake was in at the pet store.
Sadly that means euthanizing ones that they do not have the money to support.
Ah, yes. The only ethical euthanasia are the ones we conduct!

Yeah that show was full of “libertarian” bullshit. But nowadays Penn has gone vegan and abandoned “libertarianism”. People can grow up.
vegan, but not PETA
An organisation so bad that everyone involved in that crew had no qualms calling them bullshit
All the animal protection laws in the US can be traced back to peta lobbing. Bet P&T were sponsored by KFC or other animal meat industry.
Show your moral superiority to PETA by going vegan and not making slop.
The other layer here is gibberish. “L’H YBQRH DIM”?
I don’t know how they do it ( https://www.mixfont.com/experiments/decoy-font ).
PETA has always felt like a corporate strategy in the same vein as the oil companies infiltrating green movements and steering them away from nuclear back in the 70’s and 80’s. Like PETA exists to make Vegans and Vegetarians look bad, imo.
Yup.
Just had a random thought… twitch.tv is owned by Jeff Bezos. Hasan Piker is on the front page of that site any time he turns on his webcam. That’s kinda weird isn’t it?
Don’t know why I just thought of that.
Hasan is a big streamer
Big streamers make twitch money
Bezos loves money
Not so weird
there are so many better vegan orgs than peta. peta is just clickbait for twitter.
Why does vegan need an organization?
…To accomplish goals?
ALF was pretty cool but the government didn’t really like them too much.
VEGANS are cool PETA is lame… PETA is a CIA cutout
They are a psy-op to make the public hate vegans.
This is consistent with their general scumminess.
All Vegans, animal lovers, anyone with empathy hates PETA. Fuck PETA.
Plenty of vegans do not hate PETA. We may not always agree with their actions, like using generative AI to make ads, but they do a lot of good work and have contributed much to the vegan movement.
Also,
Vegans, animal lovers, anyone with empathy
pretty redundant
Then plenty of vegans aren’t aware all the shit PETA does.
Yeah it’s usually some nebulous handwaving or disinformation and not concrete examples of their policies so it makes sense that not all would be “aware” of it
Can you enlighten us then?
Looks like shit
You don’t like her manly shoulders!?
What?
Oh, just that it is like a woman’s head on a man’s body.
Maybe you’re too young to remember women wearing shoulder pads but that shit is way out of fashion and this ad is garbage.
Yeah, when women wore shoulder pads it was obvious and for looks. This is just a women’s head juxtaposed on a male in a suit.
Help the animals by boiling the oceans
I don’t know much about them but I know them because of this stupid poster:
I think PeTA is a psyop to make us hate activists
Your anger is understandable. Cognitive dissonance is a deeply frustrating feeling to experience. It takes effort and self-control to push past it and reflect on why you might hate those who fight for others.
Lol, that is just hilariously bad.
PETA should be charged for shearing like that.
But… this is not how this works
I’d probably own more wool clothing if it really worked like this, because that looks delicious.
PETA is the AIPAC of people who want to eat less or no meat.
lol. they’re also using the aesthetic of a mormon wife to sell their message. that lady buys 20 pounds of beef a week.
trust me, i used to live in salt lake city.
Peta sucks anyway
Got it! Becoming an animal tomorrow!
nothing changes
You’re an animal already. Humans are animals.
I am a Pocket Monster
Pokémon are animals.
Nuh-uh, I don’t fuck animals.
Watch out, PETA will try to euthanize you
Good
