episode 42: my beef with peta

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING animal cruelty, animal death, ableism, racism ⚠️ 

josh shares a smattering of cursed news: a movie about bears doing cocaine, gaslighting is the word of the year, harvard made robot tentacles, and lab grown meat

news. 

aly lists the crimes and misdeeds of peta (people for the ethical treatment of animals), and let me tell you, whatever terrible things you think peta has done, it doesnt even scratch the surface. we should probably call them “people euthanizing tons of animals” tbh.
