PETA claims patriotic Super Bowl ad was banned by NFL

My moral judgement is different, which opens possibilities for other intentions on PETA’s site.

Good luck with that.

Of course, there may be, as @GulliverFoyle puts it “practical, deontological or consequentialist” arguments why you reject that.

The more I learn about PETA, in particular that their hypocrisy extends to killing en masse animals with a high chance of being adopted, the less benefit for the doubt I’m prepared to give them. I still think many of the people who support and donate to them are merely getting scammed by them. I hope for the sake of their own ethical integrity that those supporters realize what PETA is doing and move their support to advocacy groups that actually save animals.

When I stopped eating meat decades ago, I learned simply mentioning that fact often triggers people into strong reactions, even though I just mad it known so we can pick a restaurant that works for everyone.

People here aren’t disagreeing with you because you’re vegan. They’re disagreeing with you because you’re defending a hypocritical organization that dups its donors into helping to fund racist ads.
