People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) never misses a beat when it comes to trying to guilt-trip everyone into abandoning their beloved ribeyes and sushi rolls. With their aggressive and often laughable social media campaigns, they’ve become the unwelcome guest at the dinner table that just won’t leave. They toggle between two strategies: showcasing how amazing it is to munch on leaves, roots, and bugs, or launching an emotional blitzkrieg against our taste buds.
Take the latest case study in absurdity. PETA decided to wave their judgmental finger on International Sushi Day, posting a message aimed at making sushi lovers feel like monsters. The social media post declared that crabs don’t belong on plates. Accompanied by a cartoon crab pining for a sushi roll, the post’s message was clear: eating sushi is akin to murdering cute sea critters.

It didn’t take long for PETA’s melodrama to be called out by the masses. The post, adorned with a sappy illustration of a teary-eyed crab, got a hefty dose of reality from social media commentators. The Community Note appended to the post pointed out the not-so-minor detail that most “crab” meat in sushi is actually imitation crab made from white fish. So much for emotional manipulation over actual facts.
But wait, there’s more. Not only was PETA raked over the coals for their fishy misinformation, but they were also caught with their hands in the intellectual property cookie jar. The Community Note also revealed that PETA used a font licensed exclusively to Apple and Apple app developers. So, in addition to peddling inaccuracies, they’re also seemingly willing to skirt the law.
It’s not the first time PETA has been roasted for their antics. Who could forget their recent Thanksgiving campaign where they falsely suggested that turkeys don’t eat meat in a desperate attempt to turn hearts and minds away from the Thanksgiving table? It seems like every holiday, PETA has some new way of trying to suck the joy out of family gatherings.
In their relentless pursuit to dictate diet choices, PETA continues to drown in their own hypocrisy and hyperbole. If the turkeys could talk, they’d probably tell PETA to stuff it. But until then, they’ll just keep clucking about what we should and shouldn’t eat. Conservatives everywhere can rest assured, though: common sense, unlike tofu, is still a staple in most kitchens.
