I don’t think this is real, mostly because I don’t think PETA has a sense of humor. I don’t think they’re capable of funny.

I would more expect PETA to unironically tell someone off for calling a person a type of animal as an insult.

"Name one cow you're friends with" is such as asshole response to an industry that sometimes treats animals worse than Nazi concentration camps.

Seems to be a false dilemma. They ignore the idea that you can eat your friends.

"I want to cook with you"

"No, I meant as an ingredient. Sorry, English isn't my first language"

They say my hunger's a problem

They tell me to curb my apetite

This might make your friends feel uncomfortable.

TBF most animals are much nicer than humans.

[–] yeahiknow3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Humans are literally animals. Most are nothing more than that.

You and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals...

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What are the ones who are something more than that? What are they?

Gentle reminder that the intellectual distance between an average human and a cow is smaller than it is between the average human and anyone who isn’t a total fucking idiot.

PETA can only take the easy and lame options, which is why they went after my mom

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (7 children)

I stopped eating almost any beef after discovering the cute cow gifs subreddit. They can be so puppy like! They're also huge methane machines and having fewer cows would be good for the environment.

On the other hand, I crave a good pot roast maybe once a year.

Edit: and I can name my mother's favorite childhood cow and the cow my grandpa let me name because we shared a birthday.

I, for one, think it's great that PETA is branching out and disappointing somebody else's parents for a change.

A rare joke

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

I actually have reduced my beef consumption quite a bit. More for my personal health reasons than any other reason though.

[–] harambe69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

The world is just one tandoori soya chaap away from turning vegetarian forever. Remember that.
