25 Memes Roasting PETA for Their Vegan Campaign Featuring a T-Rex | “1 T-Rex Has Enough Meat to Spare 2308 Chickens”
PETA has unintentionally served themselves on a platter and Twitterati is now feasting on them. (Please excuse, the unintended puns). On June 1, 2023, the animal rights organization posted a, dare we say, serious meme promoting veganism with the help of an extinct species, a T-Rex. Little did they know that it would inspire meat-eaters to fantasize about smoked T-Rex ribs.
No one could foresee the insane reactions on Twitter, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). In fact, on their part, it was highly miscalculated because their agenda was loud and clear. But going back in time (65 million years, to be precise) to promote their ideology hilariously backfired. PETA is the longest-running non-governmental animal rights organization committed to ending the abusive treatment of animals in business and society. They also advocate consideration for animals in people's daily activities and decision-making, including general policies and practices.
Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco founded PETA in 1980 and over time, they expanded their mission of animal safety in laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade and the entertainment business. While we respect PETA's undying efforts, to rope in a dinosaur in their campaign was, frankly speaking, rather childish. Their tweet read, "Think twice before ordering that chicken sandwich... T-Rexes wouldn't approve of you eating their descendants." The meme-message went viral with 17 million views and the comment section was a laugh riot.

PETA really needs to hire some meat-eaters as consultants, someone needs to tell them that their target audience thinks eating a T-rex sounds fucking badass https://t.co/CtFr2k8XTh

PETA: You wouldn't eat T-rex, so don't eat chicken.
QBLURT: You should eat even more T-rex, since 1 has enough meat to spare 2308 chickens. https://t.co/UsYSQCeyqP pic.twitter.com/jzEZL3Ftdi
