This is exactly the sort of performative bullshit I'd expect from PETA.

Honest question - are you saying Peta is worse than McDonalds? Or just that Peta is bs by itself?
e* - Thanks, all. Consider me edified.
PETA is an organisation whose main priority is getting publicity, rather than actually doing anything useful to help animals.
Any good they do is an accidental byproduct of that.
I'll say that for an organization primarily focused on outreach they really feel like controlled opposition. If I was a higher up McDonald's I'd be donating to them. It's all culture jamming and publicity stunts in an organization that's controversial on ways people are sympathetic and aiming for sympathy in ways people aren't with a bad reputation and little understanding as to why the average joe isn't vegan.
Like seriously they're not just calling you and nearly everyone you love a murderer and demanding a lifestyle change without trying to ease the transition, they're also anti pet, and they're really weird about it
Yeah, the anti-pet stance is especially weird.
Considering PETA went around abducting and murdering people's pets, id say they're bs by themselves.
Hearing-ear and seeing-eye dogs
PETA supports hearing dog programs when animals are sourced from shelters and placed in homes, but opposes seeing-eye dog programs "because the dogs are bred as if there are no equally intelligent dogs literally dying for homes in shelters, they are kept in harnesses almost 24/7".[161]
That one is even more bizarre.
When you put it like that, this isn't the kind of performative bullshit I'd expect from PETA... Actually, this is like, really tame and kinda resonable... All things considered.
PETA sucks hard for a lot of reasons, but that particular complaint is misleading.
I never said it was routine, and that link is pretty damning for them anyways.
McDonald's sucks, Peta is a psyop
I'd also be unhappy if I was murdering dogs :(
Probably still more ethical than McDonald's
