Peta is not a rescue organisation, nor does it have animal shelters. Peta supports charities around the world that rescue suffering animals. Peta is an investigative and advocative organisation and exposes cruelty against animals wherever it occurs. Without Peta, many abusers would never have been prosecuted or closed down. You should get your facts right before you go online slagging off a hard working and successful organisation. Peta has many enemies in industries like meat, dairy, animal research, animal circuses, etc. They pay people like Richard Berman to sell propaganda to the public - why? because their profits are made by exploiting animals and Peta's job is to expose that. Animal activists know this, which is why Peta still thrives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Berman

kathryn, who is giving them money? Those people who do not believe this c**p!!! Those people who check out those liars who post all those malicious, misleading information to be able to do what they are doing: destroying the environment and heinously torturing farm animals; follow the money ( meat - money - and misinformation). Those travesties of human being do not care about destruction of our planet, they do not care about your health, and, of course, they do not care about suffering animals. Got it????? All what you believe about Peta - not happening..... Again, the same questions I asked here: what do you do to save hundreds of abused, neglected, unwanted animals? How many did you adopted? How many did you find homes for? What did you do for those which can't find homes? Did you volunteer at animal shelter? Did you established an animal sanctuary? Please answer these questions and post here. Thank you.

LittleMissLotus, seriously, people dying from those outbreaks of deadly viruses... and slaughter of billions upon the billions of suffering animals ...and destruction of the planet, all are closely, implicatively entangled !!!!! Saving the suffering animals.. and the plundered earth...and self-destructing people is NOT crazy propaganda!!!!!! Get the facts!!!! Real facts, not alternative "facts" which are posted on social media by those who are causing all these deadly misinformation.

VilvanderHeijden, here you go again, so, what are you doing to save hundreds of thousands of either unwanted or exploited suffering animals??? How many did you saved??? How many did you adopted??? How many did you find homes for???? What did you do for those which nobody wants??? Did you volunteered and/or supported any animal rights/protection organizations??? Did you established an animal sanctuary???? Please answer these questions!!! Answer them right now, right here, please!!!! People do support Peta because they get the facts. There are thousands of misinformation posted on social media which need to be fact-checked - follow the money, and discover truth. What is your motivation for posting your misinformation and such attacks???? Answer my questions, please.

Monday, so now Peta is even anti-vegan??? this is just unbelievable?? What prof do you have?? Did you confronted Peta and asked for facts? Answer me, what do you do before you make such derogatory, offensive, hurtful accusations?????

Carney, where did you get these info?? Prove it? What did you do to save unwanted, abused, or exploited animals???? How many did you adopted? How many did you find homes for? What did you do for those which nobody wants? Did you established an animal sanctuary??? Did you volunteer at animal shelter ?? Do you support animal rights/protection organizations?? I gathered that you attempted to save those fourteen dogs, twenty-three cats, four calves, and six pigs over the past eighteen months alone. If not, than you are the terrorist! Yeah, idiot. (your words).

To AnnieLaurie. "Man,. ..is a tame, civilized animal...but if he be insufficiently or ill educated he is the most savage of earthly creatures." - Plato, Greek philosopher (427 - 347 BC/BCE). Peta's intention was to bring attention to the source of the outbreak of corona virus, and past and future and more lethal viruses. Just in U.S. people eat way more over one million animals per hour; three hundred are heinously killed every second!!! 175 chickens are murdered every minute; a pig is murdered every 5 seconds; "If we pursue habit of eating animals, and if our neighbor follows a similar path, will we need to go to war against our neighbor to secure greater pasturage, because ours will not be enough to sustain us, and our neighbor will have a similar need to wage war on us for the same reason?" - Socrates, Greek philosopher, known as one of the founders of Western philosophy (469 - 399 BC/BCE) Don't worry Annie we invented factory farms, thus destroying our planet and our health.

Perpetual, there's nothing to joke about. Peta is aiming to bring attention to the horrific, sanguinary, and lethal consequences of excessive consumption of animal proteins (meat, dairy, eggs) not only to human health and the health of our planet, also to spare billions upon the billions of animals, both exotic and domesticated, unimaginable, unconscionable immense suffering, the heinous, merciless way they are murdered to keep up with that ever more destructive appetite for meat, eggs, and dairy. All are closely related. By the way, did you know that there is no animal - mammal, in nature which drinks mother's milk after weaning? Not to mention the milk from another species??? Only human beings are capable of such a perversion.....and paying for it: animal milk protein, called Casein, is very dissimilar from human protein and contributes (with other strong animal proteins in meat and eggs) to chronic, painful arthritis, diabetes, heart diseases and various cancers.

Becca Gizmo the Squirrel, they are just grasping to bring attention to these tragedies.

deanna woods, they have more compassion for the humans which will die from the next deadly virus. Oh yes, what are you doing yourself??? Confront Peta directly with your derogatory allegations first....and please tell us how you help suffering animals. Show us what kind of animal lover you are. Thank you.

efin, you got the wrong hunch. Your hunch is based on all those baseless, accusations and insults of all those "fine" caring" people who posted them. Get the facts, call Peta 1 - 757 - 962 - 8380 or 1 - 757 - 962 - 8213 or 1 - 757 - 622 - 7382 and ask them to explain their "insanity" to you...and when you are at it, ask how and what you can do to save hundreds of thousands animals all over the world. Thank you for your compassion.

Hmmm might want to check your facts there, Betty

Betty Kaplan is right, why don't you get it all of you disgusting, ignorant, arrogant "geniuses" who are calling intelligent, well informed people idiots. Get the facts from epidemiologists - the reputable source, not from social media where any "expert" can post self-serving alternative "facts".

We aren't laughing, the problem is that PETA is using the name of said virus that has killed so many of our loved ones for their own advertisement? DO you not see how much of an a-hole move that is? Also I'm just gonna say we and I am not at all for the slaughter of animals, you just aren't going to be able to stop it, and PETA really isn't either.

Steve, did you joined another humane, animal rights/protection organization? The egregious abuse, unconscionable suffering of animals in the hands of verminous individuals and abhorrent industries are beyond comprehension. Peta wants to bring attention to these nefarious cruelties and their unavoidable, deadly consequences to our planet and human health. Only ignorant, arrogant, hateful, selfish people cannot see it, are unable to make that connection and endanger all of us. These viruses don't discriminate. Pay attention, what all animal rights animal protection organizations are saying, including Peta. Peta only resort to these assertive tactics because very few are listening!!!!!

Sam, Peta is "atrocious" because "people" are not listening to what you just stated in your comment (except for insulting Peta's for their efforts to make ignorant people to see that connection). How would you get this message out??? If you did, we wouldn't be in yet another outbreak of lethal virus, wouldn't we?? So if you can do better than Peta, please do it, if you cannot please stop these derogatory attacks, you aren't helping anyone. You sound like intelligent and reasonable person. Whom are you trying to please, those "people" (I refrained from using correct adjectives to describe them) who posted all those awful comments?? And why did you expressed concern that your comment will be down-voted? I rest my case.

hey don't insult cannabis like that.the artical was brought by heroin
