They wanted the attention... bottom line. And they're winning.
IndianStreamRepublic
I guess you could make an argument for leaving animals alone in their habitat but the way PETA chooses to take on issues is puzzling at best
whitefoxkei
Haha, "animal rights group", that's funny.
CyranoDeBurlapSack
People who kill animals bc they think they would suffer in “capitivity” are psychopaths and would likely murder-suicide their whole family.
BraupPandaGodKing
Left/right, black/white, carnivore/vegan: I think most of us can agree, Fuck PETA.
notimporant
I'm one of them things, yes.
Jonesy343
Against animal rights group*
Kightzeareau
I really hate how this repulsive organization gets publicity.
NonstopRampage
I'm just surprised we don't hear about those motherfuckers getting shot. Haven't they literally kidnapped pets and had them put down?
zylokun
You fucked with Steve Irwin.. Naturally, you gonna get it. What do yo expect you dumbasses
Fate88
By doing this they make us talk about them. We shouldn't talk about them.
Caffeinaded
If I was PETA I would find some way to profit off this and am wondering if they are some how.
YeeticusOfTheTribeYeet
Goddamn it PETA. Lies we can ignore. Talking shit about animal Jesus will not be tolerated.
HeySammieRae
Seems to me they play our emotions for the news coverage.
peopleHereLikeToHaveLongUsernamesAndIDontWantToBeLeftOutSadface
“Animal rights group”
ProfessorMcYoloswag
Fuck PETA and the zombie lookin bitch that founded it!
IUpvoteEveryNicholasCageGIF
Kinda looks like an uglier version of the animated Cruella Deville
ProfessorMcYoloswag
Fuckin re-animated more like mate! She just looks like an evil witch the fuckin cunt.
AlexandriaLibraryXYZ
They won, smart PETA, and fuck people that dont understands how internet works and that commented and shared.
AlexandriaLibraryXYZ
If I could get that much negative publicity I would be rich by now, thanks to the 0.1 people that agree with me that now know I exist.
AlexandriaLibraryXYZ
I bet a lot of people that disliked peta also disliked trump and they made videos and posts about them. lol.
stellarmyst
It’s always easier to make up allegations and slam someone after they are dead when you don’t have the nards to do it when they are alive
merelyadequategooglymoogly
"maelstrom of controversy"? I see no controversy; "fuck PETA" seems to be the consensus.
seckzie
That is what happen when you abuse and misuse words so often, so much you forget their meaning completely, like massmedia did "controversy."
Haylobro
For peta's sake!
OliverKlosof
I'd like to hope that taking down PETA will be Steve's last gift to our world.
fowlersleftfoot
With tribal politics awash in the western world, ISIS, Boko Haram in Africa, we need a force of unification like mass hatred of PETA.
Lucky7DTD
PETA are animal-slaughtering cultist fanatics! The sooner we shut them down the better the world will be.
Momolicious
I'm down. What's the plan?
AlCoolAJ
That's the problem though isn't it? Everyone is outraged but no one wants to take any initiative or action. A bit of a circlejerk
NonstopRampage
I'll get the torches, you get the pitchforks.
EetWontFlush
PETA is a bunch of cunts, what a surprise
genericuser666
Maybe they should trash on Darwin for exposing the wild life animals next time
dumpsterjedi1
PETA is that kid who didn’t get invited to the other kids birthday parties and no one felt bad about it, even their parents.
NonstopRampage
PETA is the kid who came up to your dog, on your porch, with a syringe full of bleach while you weren't looking.
LenthanQ
Did they delete their tweet? I can't seem to find it. I'm just in disbelief that anyone could say such negative things about him.
HeyOP
A simple google search of "peta twitter steve irwin" without quotes brings up one tweet 18 hours ago, two 13 hours ago.
LenthanQ
This is true. I didn't know I could find it so easily with google. Thanks.
TheKingRamen
They are pretty much just the West Burough Baptist’s church at this point
HeyOP
They're getting headlines and social media coverage, which is almost certainly their goal. If you don't like them, stop feeding them.
bringbakfirefly
Can't not stop by to say Fuck Peta.
HeyOP
They're not my type. You fuck 'em.
Melonfish
But we want them to have negative coverage so people understand what a horrible organisation they are.
pewasaurusrex
But all of the headlines are negative, and the comments reflect that most people've lost what little respect they had for PETA. They lose $
BarretXIII
exactly. controversy is how they stay relevant.
theobstruction
Their goal is to get positive coverage. All publicity is good publicity isn't true. All this does is remind people they suck.
BostonCorbettJackRuby
They're kind of like the Westboro Baptist Church but for animals
Sqwuid
Before PETA started getting widespread attention for their controversy I spent no thought on them and they were still getting paid.
HeyOP
I'd love to see your documentation of their financial history. I take it you agree they don't exactly avoid controversy. Why do you suppose?

From 2016 to 2017 they missed out on about 20m in donations.
HeyOP
That's it? You feel that's sufficient to prove your point?
Sqwuid
Honestly I dont know where you think I am disagreeing with you, all of what we have said is true.
FullThrottle099
Literally no one hates Steve Irwin. Literally everyone hates PETA. Why do they even try?
TheAvatard
Because people rant about it publicly like this and they get free publicity from it.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
Bad attention is still attention. Anti-vaxxer retards will be the type who believe stuff like this and now they'll have more to join them.
JudgeNotByTheColorOfOnesSkinButByTheContentsOfOnesDumps
"There's no such thing add negative publicity". I think the cure would be to ignore them completely. Like the Kardashians
Resz7
They have nothing to lose
NonFungibleUsername
Why do PETA even exist?
Nuttburger
Money.
SirSkellingtonBonerLord
Because there are plenty of people who only see the good they say they do instead of knowing the bad they actually do.
ragingkage
To kill stray animals from what I can deem.
Kraigor
he's like, Mr Rogers badass nephew
Sqwuid
On the last post I saw of this, there are a ton of Steve haters. :\
LickLickLickMyBalls2
FluffyKittyLover
Because people are talking about them right now. They do it on purpose and everyones too stupid to ignore them.
KaladasCRZY
Doin what PETA does: getting into headlines. Most of their ‘idiocy’ seems planned to me, it’s gotta be sensational to get those clicks.
heiderger
I understand what you’re saying but I feel like this is in line with their normal out of touch ways. They believe what they’re saying!
badthaught
You can't not plan this level of publicity.
Nagoria
It has to be. Now everyone is swarming their social media to bash them but they’re still making money off the hate so they win.
Audasity
steve irwin had more animal love in his pinkie toe than PETA has in their entire organization
NVYHVC
thats a fucking understatement
PUNKem733
He had more in a dead skin cell.

BallsackHippo
PETA = PET ASSASSINS!
AlternativeFactss
PETA is more hated then ISIS, Al Qaeda, and bin laden combined.
ZeldaFanNr1
They are a money-horny pieces of shit organisation who kills more animals than helping them. They’re a curse for mankind.
elbowdeepinagoose
Also did more single-handily for animals than the whole of PETA and their ilk.
soulman901
pyschotherapist
soulman901
Uhh not exactly the same kind of love we’re talking about here...
bkkhk
It’s possible he had no pinkie toes
Pencildispencer
SavagePatchKids
To be fair, most people have more animal love in their pinkie toe than PETA
Varenyth
I don't care about animals but I still hate peta on general principle.
ialwaysexpectthespanishinqusition
To be fair most people have more animal love in a single mitochondria then peta
Pencildispencer
To be fair the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
Idontlnowhowthisworks
To be fair PETA lacks midichlorians.
