I just spent like 30–40 minutes writing a review, and for some reason, the review button was gone. I was so close to submitting my review. I’m frustrated that I didn’t save. I must’ve accidentally closed it. This review will have to be short, as I lost a lot of energy. Sorry if it’s messy!: Peta is great. But I do have some disagreements. I just want to address a review that mentioned this: Peta euthanizes animals because they are sick, or unavoidable. Which I do understand to an extent. But I do think they are a little obsessive, and it goes against their point. I’m not sure why they do it so much. I see what they are trying to do, but it’s a little much. One thing I do like about PETA, though, is that they spread awareness. One thing I disagree with is that they believe everyone must be vegan to make a difference. No. You don’t have to be vegan to make a difference. I am vegetarian, which meats I leave meat out of my diet. And although there are some deaths, like from the egg and dairy industry, it saves more animals than if you were to eat meat. Veganism is great. But not everyone has the time for it. Especially if you are a minor and need your protein. It is not easy to be vegan, especially if you have allergies. It is not in the hands of everyone. Which is why I believe in vegetarianism. Flexitarianism helps too, but I’d personally go a little out of my way to help. One thing that I disagree with is peta wants your dog to be vegan. If you’re a hard-core vegan, don’t get a dog. Because dogs are carnivores. Humans are omnivores, meaning they eat plants, but in survival scenarios they eat meat. But with modern technology, we can eat plant-based foods. Dogs are carnivores. They strictly consume meat. But in survival scenarios, they can survive on plants for a short period of time. But it is not ideal. Now, with modern agriculture and special supplements, dogs can survive on a vegan diet. But, it is unnecessary unless the dog has dietary restrictions. Which is why I disagree with it if you force your dog to be vegan. One, dogs don’t understand that if an animal feels pain, it is “bad”. They are descendants of wolves, and wolves can’t think, “Oh. The prey I just caught went through pain and that is bad. I’m sad, so I should stop eating meat”. No. They are just following their instincts.

I came prepared for this! The review window closed. But I copied and pasted *some* of it. I lost a bit more, though. So I am not going to type that over again lol. I guess to conclude, I do like the fact that PETA spreads awareness. And they’ve saved so many animals. And I do understand many of their points. However, I do have some disagreements, or partial disagreements. And some of their marketing strategies are extreme. But at the end of the day, they help animals. And that’s what I like about them! Oh, and by the way, I haven’t listened to this podcast. My biases of the podcast might be similar to how I think of peta, though, so that’s why I wrote this. But if I like the podcast more than I think, I’ll drop a four-five-star rating.
