Iâm a full-time meat eater, but I respect vegans who donât go around minding peopleâs businesses, which is exactly what peta does.

I think thatâs the problem. So many people are unaware of the difference between vegans, militant vegans, and peta-assholes. The second and third are the hardest to differentiate (and they are different)
When you can someone to start ranting about depopulation intervention and driving food species to extinction, then you found the PETA (also the PITA)

All activism could be called âminding peopleâs businessâ. Thatâs not really a fair criticism.

not really. peta militancy helps no one. you arent going to make people eat less meat by being assholes and shame people for eating meat. Peta would have better results is they just advocated for people to eat less meat and be more conscious about where there food in general comes from as well as advocating for proper animal care and awareness. They are never going to stop people from eating meat and they seem to refuse to accept that.

Dude thatâs like saying that any form of activism that calls you out shitty behaviour is in vain and shouldnât be practised. Not a good take
x4740N@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Indeed, fuck peta
ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Donât you mean peter
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Or maybe the dude from The Hunger Games? You know, the weird one with the bad name?
ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
What do you mean they all have bad names
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
True, but IMO his is the worst one and heâs the who is supposed to be one of the normal ones but has a weirder vibe than most of the ones that are SUPPOSED to be all weird and futuris.
Kinda like an emo Eminem with super strength but even weirder.
Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
That too, but not as much as PeTA
ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
What about peta griffin
Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Yeah, fuck him too
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
They should hate PETA too. No one has done more to hurt the cause of ending animal cruelty than PETA.
Their shelter euthanization rates are shocking too.
Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Thank you! Thereâs surprisingly an awful number of supporters here, I donât know whyâŚ

I donât do gish gallops, so Iâm just going to address this:
That is bullshit. There are no kill shelters all over the country. Thereâs one in my town. They didnât even euthanize after they were overwhelmed when we had a huge storm that destroyed structures. They just found people who would foster while they could rehome as much as they could. PETA doesnât do that.
Sotuanduso@lemm.ee â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Today I learned what a Gish Gallop is.
Nicely done.

Its also just totally a false equivalency. Lets entertain for a moment the fact that Peta is an imperfect organization that doesnât always do the right thing. Okay and? The industry they protest exploits not just animals, but Children and Workers. Its carbon footprint is playing an instrumental role in destroying the biosphere. But sure, PETA is imperfect so I guess weâll all just keep eating meat.
dx1@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Do more research on that claim.
Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
hereâs one for starter
hereâs another one
this oneâs a bit dated, but still relevant
dx1@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Yes, start with the Wikipedia one that, that actually begins to examine it critically and points out that the campaign was spearheaded by an animal industry lobbying groupâŚ
abraxas@sh.itjust.works â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Iâd just stop now. I just realized who youâre commenting with, and the guy just had a long-ass pissy argument. When I slowed down to show him evidence, he kept changing topics and then ragequit when it didnât work.
Feel free to check my comment history (or his) for proof of this.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
I love it when people say this without even suggesting where to do this research. Let me guess- Google it. Because thatâs what I already did.
dx1@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Thereâs the approach I have to fact-check things, I donât know what other approach people have honestly. Look up fact-checking, debunking etc. on it. I know there are dozens to hundreds of pages that fact-check the parroted âPETA euthanizes too many dogsâ claim. I honestly canât believe people are still bringing this one up, I donât know how it could possibly be on me to start digging up sources for you.
