Not once have I thought about PETA since becoming a communist.
I have said and believed slanderous things I am now regretting all at once. I am much too high for this

It's funny how much PETA lives rent free in every carnist's head, it's basically inversely proportional to how much you actually hear about them in real life.
Peta is a symbol of the unresolved contradiction between a carnist's self image as an ethical person and their knowledge of the horrors of industrial agribusiness. That contradiction is what haunts them to defensiveness
His response? "Well, PETA's never denied it!"
Well your friend is being dumb and arguing in bad faith. A quick web search will bring up their article about their stance on pet ownership. They encourage people who have the money, resources and time to care for pets to adopt and rescue pets.
Link: https://www.peta.org/about-peta/why-peta/pets/
and the very first sentence:
At PETA, we love and respect the animal companions who share our homes. Contrary to myth, PETA does not want to confiscate beloved, well-cared-for companions and “set them free.”
Anyone can say they are from some org or entity, but it doesn't make it true. Now if you will excuse me I am late for my space meeting at NASA today.
And your friend has never denied pissing in the kitchen sink so... y'know...
Or having sexual relations with a vehicle. They’ve never denied it and if they deny it, there’s no evidence that shows they didn’t do it
PETA always is and does whatever is most convenient for a carnist's argument.
