People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was mocked on Twitter after claiming “supremacy” is the reason people eat animals.
The group, which has been grown more controversial and extreme with the advent of social media, tweeted over the weekend, “Supremacy is at the root of why people think it’s okay to eat other animals.”
The tweet was immediately ridiculed as meat-eaters flooded the reply section.
“I will fully admit I am supreme to animals. Feels good to be able to eat 100% beef fed beef tonight,” one user replied.
“False. Taste is the root of why people eat animals,” another account answered.
As PETA likely intended, certain replies garnered responses from the account.
“Why do other animals think it’s ok to eat other animals?” a user pondered.
“Most of the animals who kill for food could not survive if they didn’t. That is not the case for us. Humans are capable of making choices based on ethics and are responsible for making the most ethical choices possible and doing our best to reduce suffering of any kind,” PETA replied.
The group has previously referred to people who eat meat as “slumbering in speciesism” – or what it describes as the belief that all other animal species are inferior to humans, which it deems incorrect.
PETA President’s Unhinged Final Request
Earlier this month, Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA, said she updated her will to request that her flesh be cooked and her body processed as goods post-mortem.
“I am deathly serious,” Newkirk said in an interview with Fox News.
Her will reportedly specifies that her flesh should be cooked with onions in a “human barbecue” in order to make the point that “flesh is flesh”.
“You can barbecue my flesh and you’ll smell it cooking with those onions, and you’ll think, ‘Oh, I want some of that.’ But it will make you think,” she said.
She also wants her skin used to make leather goods such as a belt and a purse.

No Ingred. You need Barbecue Sauce for “Long Pork.”
🤣🤣🤣
No one wants to eat her disease-infested meat.
Too bad for the animals you try to help because when you display yourself as an extremist, you lose support by people who fear the motives and actions of extremists. You will lose funding and the animals you claim to need your help will suffer. Time for you to find a new National rep.
That’s about all the fanatics are good for, a leather purse
Hey PETA ask the Jews from the camps on these issues OK
End this BS
We eat animals because they are eating her food.
Animals that eat a vegetarian diet usually taste better.
We have canine teeth because we are born meat eaters
And hunter gatherers. You would have not survived on gathering alone in our distant past. We don’t need much meat, but we do require some.
Now of course you can get enough protein from beans and cheese etc. it that wasn’t around when man first walked the earth.
Mareena, to bad that PETA does not have enough brain to comprehend even such obvious things you pointed out. Well said, thanks.
Interesting graphic at the top of the article…hmmm…
These people need to be in insane asylum.
Something not much mentioned is that if we stop using animals as a food source, most of those animals will be killed off, since maintaining herds of cows (especially if, like vegans, we stop eating milk) will be too expensive to continue. Ditto chickens, etc. Some lambs will be kept for their wool, some cows to be killed to make leather, etc. But if we all stopped eating animals, the result would be a huge killing off of animals.
Someone should tell her that eating the flesh of a dead animal is dangerous. The food we eat is always freshly killed. Does she prefer us to wait for her death (which would provide dangerous meat) or to kill her at a time of our choosing?
Personally, I wouldn’t eat human flesh, but I don’t eat dogs or cats either. I think my dogs might enjoy her, though.
(This post is intended to be taken as illustrative, not literally.)
We eat animals (humans are not animals, in respect to the fact that they were created in the image of God and have eternal souls) because God gave them to us for food:
Genesis 9:3 “Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I have given everything to you, as I gave the green plant.”
PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ignore the Bible as given to us by God. God made clothing for Adam and Eve out of animal skins after the fall into sin. He called for animal sacrifices which foreshadowed the death of Jesus Christ when he gave himself as the sacrifice for our sins. Christ Jesus ate fish and he celebrated the Passover in which lambs were part of the Passover meal. And of course as Snaps said God gave us animals for food following the flood at the time of Noah.
“Why do other animals think it’s ok to eat other animals?” a user pondered.
“Most of the animals who kill for food could not survive if they didn’t. That is not the case for us. Humans are capable of making choices based on ethics and are responsible for making the most ethical choices possible and doing our best to reduce suffering of any kind,” PETA replied.
So, by PETA’s admission, we ARE superior to animals. A can accept that claim.
The Bible teaches God made humans superior to all the other beings on the face of the earth. God made clothing out of animal skins for Adam and Eve after their fall into sin. He gave animals for food after the flood at the time of Noah. Animals were sacrificed because without blood there can be no forgiveness. These sacrifices foreshadowed the sacrifice of God’s son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Passover lamb was eaten by Jesus because he fulfilled God’s demands in our stead. He also ate fish and he multiplied the loaves and fish in the feeding of the 5,000. He called fishermen to be his followers saying that they would be fishers of men. These facts are ignored by PETA. I prefer to be a part of a group that has another meaning for this acronym. That would be People Eating Tasty Animals.
