To be fair this is far from the craziest thing PETA has advocated for. Dumb. Attention seeking. Worked I guess.

It's been PETA's strategy forever. Say ridiculous things, not because even they consider it to be a serious proposal, but because it will get people talking about PETA. Like when they proposed renaming fish as sea kittens.

Is that standard leftist strategy? Because there's a lot of crazy **** that's been pushed which has actually been normalized and implemented, and I'm not talking about PETA.

Remember them comparing the meat industry to the holocaust? Just an awful awful organization.

SOP for pretty much every non profit and or political figure at this point. Give me money or we all die. That’s the message from all of these ********. Left. Right. Center.

Also, in the social media era it's all about engagement. Being dumb, or outrageous, gets attention, gets clicks, gets responses, then gets algorithms to suggest you because people are already talking about you. So while the concept isn't new, the technology is accelerating it. Well reasoned arguments, any nuance, coherent actionable ideas, get buried under the fray of outrageous statements, clapbacks, "so and so DESTROYED so and so," "look at how ridiculous this person/group is!"

Leaving it the same apparently bothers some so why are they the only ones who can have an opinion?

PETA has to be starved for attention or just messing with people, offering a satirical look at themselves. No fool would take this seriously, which leads me to believe it is not. Or, John Cleese has taken control of PETA.

Sea kittens, lol. I found some creek kittens once, they were in a bag, but definitely not fish.

Nothing bothers me

Ed, then you aren't human.

The name bullpen is part of the history of the sport. Way back when the name derived from putting folks who were late to baseball games in the "bullpen" as the stadiums were packed and there was standing room only. The familiar look to a herd of cattle gave it the name.

Who exactly does that offend?

Peta? The folks that fire bomb places and have had members on the FBI Most Wanted list?

They can eat it. This is part of American culture and doesn't offend humans- only the whackos.

Last I heard they were trying to normalize eating bugs in place of meat. Are bugs people too according to PETA?

These ecological organizations rarely actually do what they say they do. PETA hasn’t improved animal welfare. They ***** and moan about Pokemon being bloodsport. Mickey mouse is evil because he owns a Pluto, a dog, while being friends with Goofy, who is a dog, or something idiotic like that.
