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
citrusface@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Thatâs not what Iâm saying at all.
I am saying in PETAs case, they would catch more flys with honey, rather than vinegar. I donât believe that making fun of people and making them feel bad about a system that isnât transparent is the way to go. Compassion and education in this case, would work best. imo. Small incremental steps - not wholesale instant change.
Leave the dirty work to the ALF. Which I also support. :)

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.
