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.

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