PETA or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has long been a centerpiece for controversy. With alluring ads, and theories about how they actually euthanize animals, and so much more. But nothing has stopped them or even, really, slowed them down. And their recent stunt is made all the more hilarious thanks to the age of Social Media.
PETA decided to take to their Twitter account ask people a pretty basic question… Why eat bacon?
Present your best argument for eating bacon.

And what followed… well… they were sorta asking for the trolls, weren’t they?
It’s delicious ?

PETA tried firing back, to no avail:
Yes! They deserve the same love and respect that we give the cats and dogs we consider a part of our families ❤️?

And the punches kept coming!
People Eating Tasty Animals. PETA

And even some vegans coming to the defense of others…
I'm vegetarian/cruelty free makeup user myself, but it's their choice if they wish to eat meat or not. There life = their choice.
