  For real I don’t really understand all the hate PETA gets. I think the most you can accuse them of is not being strategic in their messaging, and doing some pretty dumb stunts over the years. Everyone I’ve ever met who’s involved with PETA has seemed like genuinely a good person who’s trying to help animals.

  Of course there’s also the “PETA kills pets” stuff, but if you do one google search you’ll see this is astroturfed lies from the meat industry, so I don’t pay that any mind.

    Seriously, an organization that does this?

    Wtf man. I understand protecting animals and going vegan. But stuff like that is just over the top and revolting. And I don’t even care much about cooking mama, which is / was a game ffs.

    The only people I’ve met involved with peta have been 3rd party contractors paid to gather signatures, who have either been polite or obnoxious or whatever, you know your normal signature gathering dudes have good and bad days like the rest of us.

    I’ve never met anyone who was not employed by the organization in a “oh fuck I need money” position, and I have hobbed the nobs for charity. I’m not sure what to make of that.
