My friend thinks, half-jokingly, that PETA might be a psyop by the USA's barbeque chefs and meat packers.
I have an intense hatred of PeTA. Purely make money off of some gullible people out there that think that organization will do something with that money. Instead they are a kill shelter, they kill 90+% of animals brought in, the money they have very very little of it goes to anything what they are about. Instead it's all about using that money they get to advertise to get more money.
Oh yeah, no argument here. PETA is to Animal Welfare and Veganism what Autism Speaks is to Autistic advocacy and Salvation Army is to homeless shelters. They're the worst of the worst.

I used to live 20 miles from their HQ when I lived in Virginia Beach. They used to protest NAS Oceana's (Navy base) annual deer hunt. Since the base is pretty large, it has a native deer population that needs to be kept in check. Fenced in and all. There was a incident where a Peta protester threw red paint on some Marine's truck. He didn't take it that well. The whole thing was swept under the rug.
But almost each weekend you would see them protesting something. A clothing store, fast food joints, a circus coming to town etc.
They never pulled the naked protester thing since Virginia Beach has a strict family friendly code. They got fucking no cursing signs all over the place for example.
