Oh boy, a post tangentially related to vegans. Who else is ready for a very sane and normal comment sectiiioooonnn!?!?!?
Op: Makes post about PETA
Godric: OH GOD I HAVE TO BE OFFENDED ABOUT VEGANS
everyone else: Who the fuck said anything about Vegans?!
I assumed Godric was anticipating “very normal” anti-vegan comments XD
Vegans will have history side with them. However, farming and pastoralism is a way of life for many people. It’s a job passed down from generation to generation. It’s one of the world’s oldest job. Unlike fossil fuels where there is no sentimental attachment and we can tell people to reskill, farming isn’t. Some cultures and communities centre their identity to farming and pastoralism. How do we convince farmers and herders to give up the practice because it is extremely damaging not just to the environment, but to the entire human species?
Even though farmers do worry about the climate change making seasons becoming less predictable and yields becoming less productive, they are also the same people who complain and felt hindered by climate change policies, so they vote for the right wing parties that provide easy answer band aid solutions, but have far more dire and longer term consequences.
The problem is capitalism Fuck meat industry
Blame capitalism as much as we want, but in this case it isn’t some nebulous boogeyman. Who are the people supporting capitalism? Who are the people selling meat to the meat industry? The same people who I am talking about. There is naïveté that farmers don’t have a hand in exacerbating climate change. Holistically, we are all to blame.
Hahah as if peta has friends.
Woah, PETA, people are animals too! You shouldn’t be roasting them XD
I, for one, think it’s great that PETA is branching out and disappointing somebody else’s parents for a change.
The world is just one tandoori soya chaap away from turning vegetarian forever. Remember that.

I’ll make that a post give me a sec
funny thing the sea sherperds founder left peta, because they wernt aggressive enough with thier eco-activisim, im guessing they are getting there.
If this is real… I really don’t see how this guy thought this quip would work out. Even without the funny Mum joke, they could have just responded with any name.
They respond “Daisy” what’s he going say now? How’s he going to disprove that?
that kind of attitude just proves that animals are just the facade for them
Hitting a disingenuous reply guy with a lazy zinger: Based
Hitting a disingenuous reply guy with a lazy zinger when you’re an animal rights org: Cringe, loathsome, objectionableNot surprised Peta would stoop to bodyshaming women.
Don’t mind me, I’m just here to complain about vegans.

Fun fact, PETA kills upwards of 90% of the animals they claim to rescue.
Their director makes $147k salary, Sr VP makes $142k, VP makes $126k, and the Pres makes $36,999.
That is notably a lot less than, for example, ASPCA’s executives who make hundreds of thousands up to $1,203,267 made by Matt Berdshadker in 2023, but on the other hand ASPCA has strict rules against Euthanasia except for circumstances that make the animal aggressive, suffering, of completely unadoptable.
The ASPCA typically has a lower euthanasia rate than PETA because it often employs more selective admission policies, focusing on adopting out animals rather than accepting all animals regardless of their condition. In contrast, PETA operates as an open-admission shelter, which means it takes in all animals, leading to higher euthanasia rates due to the number of unadoptable or severely ill animals it receives.
Doesn’t the aspca also spend more on advertising than helping animals? I remember them also having a suspicously high CEO pay.
You should remember, it is outlined two comments up this chain.
They both are helpful just in different ways. Ideally wed have the ASPCA and Peta working together for a better outcome, but unfortunately thats not usually the case.
“Focusing on adopting out animals” which results in >90% fatality? I would laugh but that’s just not funny. The reason PETAs kill count is so high is because they fundamentally don’t believe in livestock or owning pets, they see killing dogs, cats, and horses as a mercy.
You should re-read my post because you are attacking a point I didnt make.
You likely fell victim to propaganda from the animal imdustry:
Whether or not there is a front group named such doesn’t argue the fact at all.
Thats like claiming animal rights activists are propoganda because theres a group named “swine are tortured”.
Ok. You didn’t read the article, did you?
I clicked your link, despite never having heard of sourcewatch, and it says there exists a propaganda group, which I have never heard of, sharing the same factual information as I have here.
I’m a wholehearted supporter of animal welfare, but I disagree with the fundamentals of PETA murdering every pet they get their hands on.
factual information
PETA murdering every pet they get their hands on.
🤡🤡🤡
Besides taking themselves too seriously, they also give vegetarianism and the concept of animal welfare a bad name.
I’d rather put my money to PAWS than a religious cult.
PETA euthanizes thousands of animals per year according to Google.
PETA euthanized 2,471 animals in 2023 and 2,213 in 2024 at its Virginia shelter, according to reports filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS).
PETA operates a kill shelter of last resort in Virginia, where they take in dogs who were next up to be euthanized at other kill shelters to make one more last ditch effort at addressing their issues and finding them homes. This is a service that would not exist if not for PETA, but since they’re a last resort their success numbers are very low, like less than 40%. That amounts to hundreds of animals saved every year, but that hasn’t stopped animal ag from taking the euthanasia totals out of context for years.
There’s lots of information about the Norfolk shelter online for those willing to fact check.
That ain’t enough. They go to schools and try to convert kids.
I don’t think this is real, mostly because I don’t think PETA has a sense of humor. I don’t think they’re capable of funny.
I would more expect PETA to unironically tell someone off for calling a person a type of animal as an insult.
as they should
Yeah that’s real iguana behavior.
