Steak thanks!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: Steak thanks! This old mutt notes that the extremists from the animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are getting nuttier every day.

The activist group recently declared that men who eat meat should be banned from having sex.

According to PETA’s latest weird proclamation, “A taste for sausages is symptomatic of toxic masculinity, a set of harmful attitudes and behaviours stereotypically associated with men that are seen to have a negative impact on society – including the steady demise of the planet”.

This has seen female activists at PETA Germany to call for all meat-eating men to be subject to a “sex ban”.

Your old mate suggests that the more ridiculous these extremists’ statements get, the less support from sensible people they are likely to get.
