People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals isn’t known for being a particularly smart, or even rational, group.
That deranged sensibility and overall lack of self-awareness was on display again Tuesday when the group issued a poorly-advised tweet.
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict this one won’t go well for you. https://t.co/LbSHHxhMqm

Did it?
No.
Not at all.
I think the worst argument for eating bacon is still better than the best argument not to eat bacon.

To which PETA replied.

About that.
It’s very odd that you should use a gif from Louis CK’s Oh My God show. In which he says this… https://t.co/ssFbA7lja7

So far, it’s not going well.
PETA is just collecting Ls at this point

Someone else answers the question.
It tastes good and because I can

Only to be told to shut up, by the person who asked them a question.
— PETA (@peta) June 28, 2017
Childish.
Lol ur response is somewhat funny, because shushing is what kids do when they don’t have an argument

PETA tries to punch their way out of the corner.
Yes! They deserve the same love and respect that we give the cats and dogs we consider a part of our families ❤️?
— PETA (@peta) June 28, 2017
And they walk right into an uppercut.
You kill over 1,000 dogs and cats each year in just one PETA shelter
You – literally – kill more animals than anyone responding to you https://t.co/GtTPsVvZjp

Better question – why is PETA more interested in euthanizing dogs and cats than rehoming them?
— Randy Milholland (@choochoobear) June 29, 2017
PETA doesn’t just kill animals. They almost take delight in it.
That’s a 50% kill rate.
PETA shelters have an 85% kill rate. https://t.co/SFXzIuKQcB

PETA’s really good at killing animals on an industrial scale, with no emotional response.
“choosing compassion over indifference”
“The animals we take in and euthanize, I don’t worry about it.”

In fact, brought into court on charges of illegally dumping the puppies and kitten they kill, PETA told a court that the family cats and dogs were “trash.”
You killed 21 cats and dogs, then illegally tossed them in a dumpster
Charged w/ “littering,” you claimed in court the animals were trash. https://t.co/GtTPsVvZjp

And these aren’t unadoptable animals. PETA’s been caught literally stealing family pets from local homes so they’ll have animals to kill.
You stole a little girl’s Chihuahua off their porch, killed it, then sent the family a fruit basket.
Jeffrey Dahmer thinks you’re creepy. https://t.co/GtTPsVvZjp
— Donny Ferguson (@DonnyFerguson) June 29, 2017
Because at least it’s not as terrible as you guys stealing and euthanizing dogs from families. https://t.co/ZKtIpnFTvD

But, in the end.

Why eat bacon?
Because it’s nicer and less cruel than supporting PETA.
