    "why does everyone hate us? Is it because we steal people’s animals and murder them regardless of whether they are healthy or not, constantly attack pet owners for simply owning their beloved animals, or any of the litany of reasons the public can choose from? No, it’s the people who are wrong! "

      That “pet stealing” case is in the video and is blown out of proportion.

        There have been multiple cases. And if you’re talking about the one with the little dog, they literally trespassed onto someone’s property, took the dog from their porch, then killed it before the owner could even find where the dog was taken.

          THAT case is literally covered in the video and it is much more nuanced than it is presented in the media.

            If you refuse to look anything up about them, or came here with your mind made up, I really don’t see how any reply will matter.

                The leadership is unethical and corrupt, they euthanize at a WAY higher rate than any other group dealing in animal rights and welfare, they frequently lie and misrepresent issues, etc etc.

                All this shit is VERY easy to google and pretty well documented. So when I say that you are refusing, it’s because you couldn’t be fucked to type “Peta issues” into a google search. You came in with your mind made up, throwing around Peta propaganda claiming whitewash and expecting a spoonfed rebuttal. I think you are likely just looking for an argument.

                Here’s one of many many articles out there that look critically at the bullshit of Peta. Peta is a shit organization, run by shitty people to dupe those with a tender heart towards animals. They are trash.

    I mean I don’t hate them cause of astroturfing… I raise my own animals, I kill my animals, and I eat my own animals and they’re actively trying to stop me… If a company actively interferes with my way of life… I hate that company.
