Fun fact : The wolf either references Turkish fascism or ancient furry porn OR the other, less popular ancient furry porn.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_creation_mythThat’s a grey wolf, that’s definitely a fascist whistle whilst also now being a government-friendly sign of patriotism
So, like this red flag with the blue cross in US?
Yup
Also an old folk-tales character… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_wolf_(mythology)
As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?
Without looking into it further, I’m gonna guess the same reason I find a lot of people I agree with on a number of issues so insufferable: holier-than-thou, self-congratulatory, moral crusading.
Just existing and being willing to answer people’s questions genuinely is way more effective. I literally never bring it up, people only find out by happenstance and often ask about it themselves. If they don’t, it’s not that interesting (in my opinion).
Anecdotally, anyway.
I mean, people who you believe to be morally right can still be irritating idiots. I’m not a vegan, but I get it. I have friends who are, I don’t say no to a vegan meal (unless there’s corn in it because that gives me an unpleasant time on the toilet). I do think PETA is fighting for something they believe in, and I think that’s admirable. I also think they’re annoying.
Their tactics can be annoying and ridiculous, but I think that any honest assessment of why people generally find them annoying would admit that it’s people being reactionary. The whole “How do you know someone’s a vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you” is almost the exact opposite in reality: people can’t shut up about NOT being vegan.
There’s truth in that for sure. I see it as a human thing, not a vegan/non-vegan one. We just love to be correct.

Because they are terrorists.
They fund other terrorists
They kidnap and kill animals from loving homes.
they “adopt” animals and immediately euthanize them.
Often dumping the bodies from both into random dumpsters, when their enormous corpse freezer is full.
They love putting naked women on display in cages and various other clearly fetishistic scenes.
They are a group of extremists who do nothing but harm animal rights by their sheer existence and association with the subject.
They also just murder shelter animals and do negative PR
My neighbor tried to raise some turkeys for Christmas. Those were bred to grow really quickly but his timing was off. They have to be slaughtered within a small window before they get too fat and their hearts give out. He had to do an early Christmas.
That’s a pretty miserable existence for turkeys
It’s pretty common for animals in the meat industry. A broiler chicken goes from hatching to supermarket in 6 weeks. That’s what’s being called efficiency these days.
I worked at a broiler farm one summer. 35 days is the time from when they arrive to when they leave to get slaughtered.
A lot of people live this way too. They just keep working and getting fatter until they die of a heart attack at 60
Lmfao fair point
You’re supposed to change their feed when they get to the desired size.
Don’t know about the small window thing. We had turkeys for a while, but to be fair it was more about domestic animals than food source. Those things would get huge. I remember once some friends were coming to visit at night and seeing them on the roof got scared and ran off.
Seeing a turkey on someone’s roof might scare me off, too. Turkeys can be bastards.
Mmm… Turkish delight… 🤤
Timmy, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
Genuinely shocked that no one drew a picture of a turkey with legs spread saying “I want to be eaten, Daddy” in reply to this.
I want to be eaten. Nobody’s doing anything about that.
If don’t want to be eaten, why delicious?
My girlfriend is sometimes a turkey and she loves to be eaten. She asks to be eaten. Sometimes, when she’s really in need, she begs for me you eat her. I have no idea what the original post was talking about
How is she sometimes a turkey? She a furry?
It just means that she’s sometimes silly.
Feathery?
Calling someone/something a Turkey is a colloquial insult.
Asın lan bayrakları! ASIIIIN!!!
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇬🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Törki nabır van ulan!
Hav kuld der bi ani bettır abi?
the greeks are here
I’m sure there’s a turkey furry out there with a vore fetish.
A lot of plants don’t want to be eaten either. Tough shit, I am hungry.
Some do, actually. Most plants that taste good basically rely on being eaten as part of their reproductive cycle.
Mostly berries sure but we eat a lot more plants than that.
Fuck plants! I’ll eat 'em all!
If I could photosynthesize and fix my own atmospheric nitrogen, I happily would.
If they don’t want to be eaten all they have to do is say it.
They do, in their own way.
All mine said was “gobble gobble,” I’m getting mixed messages here.
If they didn’t want to be eaten, they shouldn’t have been made of food ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You’re made of food
Turkeys don’t want to be eaten, but they get eaten anyway?
Complete this sentence in any way it resonates with you:
I don’t want to _____________, but I have to ____________ anyway.
Because life’s not fair.
