Surprising that anti-Peta sentiment is so prevalent here on Lemmy, kind of thought that would be left behind at Reddit. Aside from their deliberately abrasive marketing and the misinformation about them kidnapping people's pets to euthanize them, what did they do?
They run no rejection animal shelters. Since people in general buy too many pups from breeders other animal shelters have to reject many animals that people neglect and try to get rid of. PETA does not reject any of those that get rejected by other shelters. This means they have a huge overflow of animals that people bring there. Sadly that means euthanizing ones that they do not have the money to support. If you are pro-pets and do not fund PETA to support all the neglected pets it feels a bit hypocritical to criticize them for euthanizing when the problem is that there is too many neglected pets.
If you are pro-pets, don't buy "designer" puppies. Get your animals from a shelter, or from rescues.
I absolutely adore betta fish, but I sure as hell won't buy one. I don't want to support keeping fish in tiny cups.
Frankly, what we need is legislation that forces pet stores to ensure that any animal kept with an intent to sell mush be housed and displayed in an appropriate enclosure for it to survive its entire natural life. That way the animals don't suffer if they aren't sold, and people get a good idea of what an actual appropriate setup looks like for that animal. I see too many nightmares on Craigslist and Facebook where people are keeping a 5ft corn snake in a 10 gallon enclosure because that's what the baby corn snake was in at the pet store.

I understand, and agree, that the root of the problem is the amount of abandoned animals but I still think that what peta does is wrong. By accepting more animals than they can care for they are robbing those animals the chance to find a shelter that can actually take them in, or someone willing to adopt them, or a temporary foster home, even a life as a stray could be better than death IMO. Euthanasia should only be used as a last resort, I dont think peta is doing enough to exhaust their options and, I reiterate, they are not allowing others to try by pretending to shelter those animals. A no rejection shelter that kills the animals they cant care for is just a regular shelter with extra (and careless) steps.

stylistically: AI art has only a few categories it seems to do.
It always goes for this particular blend between photo realistic and westernised anime proportions and then finish that off in whatever style it's told to do. Which is either again realism or cartoony shading or whatever blend it comes up with.
It also doesn't express itself through composition or shape. It goes for (ironically) anatomical correctness in as far that it knows that.

Help the animals by boiling the oceans
All Vegans, animal lovers, anyone with empathy hates PETA. Fuck PETA.

I don't know much about them but I know them because of this stupid poster:
I think PeTA is a psyop to make us hate activists
I'd probably own more wool clothing if it really worked like this, because that looks delicious.
But... this is not how this works
Lol, that is just hilariously bad.
PETA should be charged for shearing like that.
Got it! Becoming an animal tomorrow!
Watch out, PETA will try to euthanize you
nothing changes
You're an animal already. Humans are animals.
Show your moral superiority to PETA by going vegan and not making slop.
Peta sucks anyway
PETA sucks but surely this has gotta be a false flag
Shocking.
Who is the MAGA face on the poster? Or is she just an idoru?
I'm going to start eating meat again, just out of spite (I'm not actually).
There was an episode of Penn & Teller: Bullshit! all about PETA. Gives a good overview of what they're really all about.
All the animal protection laws in the IS can be traced back to peta lobbing. Bet P&T were sponsored by KFC or other animal meat industry.
Yeah they were killing more dogs and cats then kill shelters. Because fucking sociopaths. They don't even believe in pets.

I can barely fund myself
The other shelters are already full, that's why they take in so many animals. They are the last stop.
I think PETA euthanizing the animals is better than pet owners creative ways to kill their pets because shelters won’t take them.
An organisation so bad that everyone involved in that crew had no qualms calling them bullshit
PETA is okay with animal cruelty so long as they're the ones doing the cruelty.
PETA is the dog that caught the car. It has no clue what to do now, and it continually hurts itself in its confusion.
Vegans shouldn't let themselves be associated with the terrorists of PETA.
Peta is also alright with mass culling animals 🤣
VEGANS are cool PETA is lame.... PETA is a CIA cutout
They are a psy-op to make the public hate vegans.
This is consistent with their general scumminess.
Nah that's okay, I'm gonna keep eating meat from our trusted local eco and free roam farms.
I want YOU to shut the fuck up Peta!
This is easily the most mcmurican thread I have seen on Lemmy, might as well be on twitter.
welcome to reddit
We're on the road to nowhere...
How do you know this was A.I generated? Legitimate question. PETA is the worst.
There is a yellow tint to it (probably a artifact from AI images being trained on alot of images)
a.k.a. "the piss filter".
LMAOOO
Corpse munchers are the worst

The People who Eat and Torture Animals want YOU to eat ze bugs and serve your AI overlords.
*People who Exploit & Torture Animals.
Also, bugs aren't so bad, I'd take them over vat grown meat or "vegan" alternatives like that "Impossible" toxic slop.
Why? Vat grown meat doesn't inherently kill a sentient being. Eating insects does.
Impossible isn't vegan
