even animal lovers can agree that these
stunts were over the top

our latest videos for this list we’re
looking at the most questionable things
that this animal rights organization is
done number 10 our IP Colonel Sanders as
you can imagine PETA is not a fan of KFC
whose suppliers have been accused of
animal cruelty while we’re not surprised
that PETA opposes the company their
decision to protest by erecting a new
headstone in the cemetery where founder
Colonel Sanders is buried was something
else
pitas addition to Louisville Cave Hill
Cemetery had a seemingly innocuous
inscription an ode in fact to KFC but it
was actually an acrostic poem that spelt
out KFC tortures birds in big red
letters
it was later removed by the cemetery
number nine
Mother’s Day madness Mother’s Day is
usually a time for celebrating the woman
who gave you birth but in 2008 PETA
decided to turn this typically happy
occasion on its head by staging a
demonstration in London to make people
rethink the holiday they put a nearly
naked pregnant woman in a cage with a
banner above it reading unhappy Mother’s
Day for pigs and one below it that
encouraged passers-by to go vegetarian
it was reportedly a very chilly day in
London that spring so if nothing else
the protest certainly showed conviction
but really number 8
fighting anti animal language we got to
admit when we first heard about this one
we thought it was actually a joke in
2018 PETA published a tweet trying to
get people to switch up some commonly
used expressions for ones that are more
animal friendly in a statement they said
quote just as it became unacceptable to
use racist homophobic or ableist
language phrases that trivialize cruelty
to animals will vanish as more people
begin to appreciate animals for who they
are and hey maybe PETA had the last
laugh because for a couple of days
pretty much everyone was talking about
them we’ve got bigger fish to fry oh I’m
sorry
we’ve
got a bigger wish to fly number seven
evoking the KKK
we don’t necessarily disagree with
Peters point that there are a lot of
issues in the realm of dog breeding but
comparing breeders to the Ku Klux Klan
was far from the best way to make their
point does the American Kennel Club yes
but you know we’re discussing this you
believe in the sanctity of pure
bloodlines right in Avoca the image of
the KKK PETA was trying to draw a
parallel to the American Kennel Club
saying that both supported quote racial
cleansing in an effort to achieve quote
pure bloodlines we can’t imagine that
anyone who has experienced racism in
their lives or in their family history
would appreciate being compared to a
purebred puppy number six your mommy
kills animals for a child going to see
the Nutcracker at Christmas with your
family should be a magical holiday
experience but for many kids that
experience was ruined when they were
handed a comic book by a stranger
outside of the theater PETA was giving
copies of your mommy kills animals to
the children of women wearing fur coats
which featured bloody and graphic
content it also held sentences like
quote how would you feel if someone took
away your kitty or puppy stomped on
their head and rip the skin off their
bodies we understand wanting to protest
the wearing of ferb but why target the
children rather than the women
themselves number five Mario kills
tanuki anyone who’s played a Super Mario
game is undoubtedly familiar with the
famous plumbers Tanooki suit an ability
he picks up that makes him look kind of
like a raccoon PETA decided to latch on
to this to use it as an example of
someone wearing fur considering he’s a
cartoon and a fictional character this
seems like a bit much
faison’s came back with a statement
saying it was just a joke stating quote
Mario fans relax
pitas game was meant to be
tongue-in-cheek a fun way to call
attention to a serious issue number four
human barbecue for many barbecues are
synonymous with eating meat but PETA
tried to change that by holding a
demonstration where they put a human on
an oversized grill along with a banner
reading Meat Is Murder the organization
said quote flesh is flesh and every
animal killed by the industrialized meat
industry had feelings the capacity to
develop friendships
the same desire to live that we do this
has become a regular stuck for PETA one
that they’ve repeated at various
number three got autism PETA is right
about a lot of things the factory
farming industry is problematic animal
cruelty is rampant around the world and
the fur industry is one of the main
culprits but sometimes PETA’s campaigns
aren’t based on facts at all
case in point they’re got autism scare
campaign a play on the famous got milk
commercials a campaign promoted the idea
that drinking milk worsens or even
causes autism in actual fact the
evidence for a link between dairy and
autism remains weak and the idea that
milk causes the disorder is essentially
pseudoscience number two the Jeffrey
Dahmer campaign if you were around in
the early 90s you may remember the story
of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer shortly
after he was arrested in 1991 PETA ran a
campaign in the Des Moines Register that
compared the meat industry to Dahmer’s
killing spree the same ads were rejected
by Milwaukee’s newspapers and we can
totally see why there was human life
lost here so for the families of these
people to see them compared to farm
animals would be incredibly upsetting as
you can imagine many protested this move
at the time before we unveil our number
one pick
PETA says Ben & Jerry’s should buy milk
from women that it’s healthier than the
stuff coming out of cows and better for
the animals Ben & Jerry’s the company
says it’s a novel idea but says we
believe a mother’s milk is best used for
her child she is how can a monkey
possibly have any desire for copyright
over a picture when he’s been handed a
number one Holocaust on your plate the
Holocaust is a dark and agonizing
chapter in human history yet in 2003
PETA decided to make it the central
theme in their new campaign titled
Holocaust on your plate the campaign
compared images from the Nazis genocide
of the Jewish people to images from
factory farms the idea was inspired by
Jewish writer Isaac Bashevis singer who
said of animals quote in relation to
them all people are Nazis many people
and organizations were infuriated by the
comparison and the exhibition was banned
in Germany it took two years for PETA
president Ingrid Newkirk to apologize
for the misstep do you agree with our
