PETA has established itself as one of the most well-known animal welfare organisations since 1980. Despite its reputation, one UK-based YouTube vlogger Calum McSwiggan had revealed information on his Twitter. PETA had already been under fire for the use of provocatively dressed women in its campaigns but recent investigations revealed much more.
In March 2017, the Center for Consumer Freedom’s press release revealed that the PETA had euthanized more than 1400 cats and dogs at its shelter in Norfolk, Virginia by the end of 2016. PETA defended their actions, stating that it was ethical and economically necessary. The public, however, did not seem to agree that PETA’s priority was animal welfare.
