NORFOLK, VA—In a new campaign featuring several graphic images of the animals falling from 30,000 feet in the sky, People For Ethical Treatment Of Animals released an ad Thursday that seemed to imply that throwing horses out of planes was a common practice. “How do you think he feels about your in-flight entertainment?” said the ad, which heavily suggested that the ritual of hurling horses from commercial airlines and watching them fall to the ground and die occurred fairly regularly, if not daily. “Hey, Chris Pratt, would you do this to your dog? What if Seabiscuit pushed you out of a plane? It’s not just humans who deserve parachutes. When it comes to throwing horses out of airplanes, just say ‘neigh.’” At press time, PETA released a follow-up ad implying that horses being thrown from planes was also making humans obese and impotent.

It is a lie because employees have admitted it is a lie.

Citation needed. See if you can find literally anything that doesn't come from CORE, the CCF, or Nathan Winograd.

It is a lie because PETA itself admits it does not believe in "right to life for animals."

Really? That's weird, because they actually encourage the adoption of multiple animals.

We encourage people who have the time, money, patience, commitment, and love needed to care for an animal for life to adopt one from a shelter—or, better yet, to adopt two compatible animals so that they can provide each other with companionship. With so many cats and dogs in need of homes, there is no excuse for buying animals from pet shops or breeders, which exacerbate the overpopulation and homelessness crisis.

But hey why listen to the actual things the organization says, when we just fucking make shit up about them?

Right, yeah, they picked up a dog that was left at the side of the road. Absolute fucking monsters. They should have let it get run over like its owner intended.
