NORFOLK, VA—In a new campaign featuring several graphic images of the animals falling from 30,000 feet in the sky, People For Ethical Treatment Of Animals released an ad Thursday that seemed to imply that throwing horses out of planes was a common practice. “How do you think he feels about your in-flight entertainment?” said the ad, which heavily suggested that the ritual of hurling horses from commercial airlines and watching them fall to the ground and die occurred fairly regularly, if not daily. “Hey, Chris Pratt, would you do this to your dog? What if Seabiscuit pushed you out of a plane? It’s not just humans who deserve parachutes. When it comes to throwing horses out of airplanes, just say ‘neigh.’” At press time, PETA released a follow-up ad implying that horses being thrown from planes was also making humans obese and impotent.

    Stole pet*

    And the two employees responsible for it were immediately fired because they went against PETA’S own guidelines

    This is like boycotting Burger King because they stick their feet in the lettuce

    Edit: and, speaking as someone who once worked at an animal shelter, it’s a wildly unpopular opinion but kill shelters are a necessity. Especially ones like PETA’s, which provides end-of-life care. I could link to the pictures of the kind of animal they put to sleep, but I don’t think you want to see dogs who are more tumor than dog, or cats who are missing most of their skin. It’s easy to look at your own pet and imagine how horrific it would be for them to be euthanized. It’s harder to look at a cat who can’t eat because his mouth is essentially one large ulcer. A cat that I had to take care of. A cat that had to suffer for months because we were a no-kill shelter.
