PETA have long been avid campaigners for animal rights. And some of their campaigns are a little... extreme, to put it mildly. Some companies have to rely on shock factor to get their message across and PETA are experts at that. Rather than informative, logical and emotional campaigns, they prefer to do things a little differently.
PETA recently tweeted a picture to encourage humans not to drink cows milk. Because, of course, cow milk was made for baby cows, not humans. The way PETA tried to spread this message was completely bizarre. I don't know what their marketing manager was thinking, but I do know it was supposed to cause a major reaction; and it did.
Here is the image that was Tweeted.
Looks weird right?
It's what you're doing if you drink cow's milk ✋ Raise your hand if you know that humans shouldn’t be drinking cow’s breast milk. It was made for their babies—not you!
Honestly this is really insensitive of PETA, this isn’t what your average breast feeding cow looks like, why are you making them skinny and flawless? Stop bovine body shaming in 2019
Others noted why PETA should take a more serious approach--shock factor will only get so much attention but real change comes from influencing behaviour
This type of stuff is why no one takes PETA seriously. No one in my generation supports you. No one. In less than 10 years you will be gone.
