The animal rights group PETA, famous for its shock-tactics publicity stunts, has implied that all non-vegans have something Klanish in them, denouncing meat-eaters as “human supremacists.” It certainly caught attention.
“Eating animals is speciesist,” People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said on its Twitter account on Wednesday, adding that “Speciesism is the human-supremacist belief that one species is more important than another.”
If the US-based advocacy was angling for some hype, the proclamation certainly worked. PETA’s name soon trended on Twitter, as dozens of people rushed to describe themselves as proudly speciesist and shared images showing their favored way of consuming animal flesh.
Some responses, while equally mocking in nature, were less blunt. One commenter wondered if believing that all species – hopefully, excluding their own – were equal on a plate made them not a speciesist. Another asked if hating humans gave them a free pass.
One poster made the point that gastronomy was not the only reason one might wish ill to other living beings. For some reason, however, PETA is not crusading for the survival of bedbugs.
Reactions to the apparent racism bait were interestingly almost – but not entirely – absent in replies to PETA’s original post.
PETA is notorious for stirring controversy and thus drawing attention to its cause. Last July, it posted a photo of a dissected cat head, comparing the image to the then-trending “realistic cake” meme. In 2019, it slammed the much-loved Australian environmentalist and TV personality Steve Irwin, saying among other things that his 2006 death happened because he was “harassing a ray.” Irwin died after a stingray barb pierced his heart.

PETA can whine all they want, but Humans are Supreme over the animal world because that is how GOD, the Creator of the Universe, made it to be! Before the Flood, all of Mankind were vegetarians, but after the Flood, God gave Man permission to make everything that crawls, flies, runs, or swims as food!
Genesis 9:1-3 – Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
You appear to have been totally brainwashed by the Jewish Old Testament like so many Americans. We can see what eating everything lives and moves has done to the Americans, they have become the most bloated slobs on the face of the earth. What do you do when everything that lives and moves has become extinct? Throw your book of Jewish propaganda into your trash can as it is the only place fit for it. As for Humans being supreme over the animal world, do me a favor, the planet can survive without Humans but not without what you insultingly refer to as animals.
If God did not want us to eat animals, why did he make them so tasty? As for Americans being bloated slobs, you are partially correct, but there are many, many of us who are some of the most physically fit on earth. Broad brush all you want, it just diminishes your ramblings to that of a fool.
I hope my ramblings are not as foolish as yours. It is all down to Human physiology and what is the best food for the Human body, and farmed animals are the least best types of meat anyone can eat. Our ancient ancestors ate naturally raised meat, if they could catch it, and the bulk of their diet would have been grains, vegetables, pulses, fish etc, and they never ate sugar which is a blood poison, they would have used honey as a natural sweetener. Anyone with any brains would eat naturally raised meat such as rabbit,deer and other natural meat and if anyone cannot live without meat it should form no more 10% of the human diet and eaten in small portions of no more than 2-3oz twice a week. Study what native Americans ate in their diet and you will discover why few native Americans were FAT. The shape of Human teeth show that our ancient ancestors ate a mainly grain and vegetable food diet and we only have four canine teeth which are used for dealing with meat. Eating meat has nothing to do with what God wants us to eat.
I never said we should eat only meat. It has to be a balance of grains and meat. I eat deer meat every week, which I kill for sport and sustenance. I do not look to you for advice on dietary concerns, nor for your slanted history of human indulgences of food. I do like your commentary though, as it is usually humorous, if not down right silly.
Concerning your latest comments, I never needed a bible or a Jewish God to tell me what food I should eat, as far as Human biology is concerned it is better for Humans to eat the same or similar foods that our ancient ancestors ate, vegetables, whole grains, fruit, pulses etc, with small amounts of fish and naturally raised meat, in other words, the stone age diet, the same as the native Americans ate or as close as possible, who were clearly more enlightened than the people who dispossessed them. As for your comments, they are not at all humorous, just arrogant and foolish.
