    If you had not plugged your metaphorical ears and doubled down on an ad hominem, you would have seen that some of those receipts are self-reported filings from PETA themselves to the government.

    I would link the definition of “ad hominem” for you, but let’s be real: you’re not going to read that either.

      It is an ad hominem to point out that like PETA, you are responsible for the death of animals?

        It’s an ad hominem to assert that I hold an unethical belief and then use said assertion to bolster your point.

        I said PETA are psychopaths for needlessly killing animals, yet you assume that I’m not equally against killing animals for personal pleasure and consumerism.

          Do you eat animals?

          If so, that means you give money to animal murderers and that animals die for your benefit.

          I apologize if you are vegetarian or vegan, but if so, when did you begin defending animal AG propaganda websites from being questioned?

            No offense intended to vegetarians, but it’s a half measure if they’re doing it for ethical or climate reasons.

            I genuinely do not care about that website; all that matters is their receipts. I care that PETA are hypocrites who needlessly kill living creatures while preaching about the ethics or lack thereof of needlessly killing living creatures.

              Killing for sensory pleasure isn’t needless in your book?

              Surely euthanasia is less needless than your personal reasons for involvement in animal murder, wouldn’t you say?
