What would you like, to have been able to be born and live up to around 30 years of age into a large family in an environment catering towards your every need until you are sacrificed to be eaten, or to not have been born at all? The PETA answer is basically "no need to worry about animal abuse if their we don't allow their niches in human society to keep existing". I really haven't PETA seen ever focus that much on environmental protection.

Peta kills more animals in their shelters than most other organizations. It was never about protecting animals. It was always about hating humans.

It was always about hating humans

Or, to keep it simple: making money off of humans by exploiting their empathy?

Tyvm for this, though to be fair this is a PETA source; do you have anything external?

Regardless, their claims about the petakillsanimals site being run by a disinformation org seem to be true. The wikipedia article on the CCF is damning; they seem to have a general goal of opposing any environmental, public health or social justice campaigns that harm certain industries.
