10 Offensive Ads by PETA
1. 10 Most Offensive and
Misleading Ads That PETA
has Produced
WARNING, all of the following ads are offensive in one way or an-other,
please proceed with caution… once you’ve seen them all
vote for the ad you think is the most offensive.
2. 1
When you hear about someone getting attacked by a
shark, your normal reactions might be shock, sympathy,
or concern. Not if you’re PETA—they see it as appropriate
time boot up the Photoshop and create an image of a
bloody leg coming out of a shark’s mouth. This billboard
was part of their “payback” series where they lambasted
anyone who was attacked by an animal.
3. 2
Just in case you thought
PETA liked children, they
came out with this incredibly
inappropriate ad commenting
on Santa’s imagined sexual
dysfunction. All we wanted
for Christmas this year was for
PETA to stop making references
to Santa’s erections.
4. 3 Sticking with the kid theme… this billboard takes the
incredibly complicated issue of autism and uses some very
suspect links between dairy and autistic behavior (one “study”
was a subjective review of 20 kids with autism and their
behavior after cutting dairy from their diet). It also callously
implies that getting rid of dairy might cure autism, giving false
hope to parents of autistic children.
5. 4 PETA—true friend of the feminist. In addition to this
winner, they also put up a billboard simply advertising
“NoFatChicks.com” where one could find information
about a vegan diet. From our experience, calling a woman
fat is not exactly the best approach to convince her of
anything. (Great aunt Millie almost decapitated a salesman
in a department store once for simply asking if she wanted
to try on a larger-sized shoe.)
6. 5
Now if you call us out on this
one and say that this really isn’t
an ad per se, but really more of
a stunt, you’d be right. But we
couldn’t resist putting this one in.
Nothing makes the case to give
up bacon like putting a half-naked
pregnant woman on display in a
public place. Even that kid with the
pacifier thinks this stunt is stupid.
“Mommy, why is there a naked
lady in a cage?” Good luck parents!
7. 6
All right—we know already! This one
is also a stunt. We’re not even sure
what these idiots are trying to say with
this one. But apparently sponsoring
a dog show of purebreds makes the
American Kennel Club exactly like
racist and violent a-holes who want to
eliminate minorities using tactics like
violence and intimidation. Personally
we don’t like our vegetables to touch
the potatoes on the dinner plate—we
must be exactly like David Duke!
8. 7
We’re not even going to
touch this one. Seriously,
not touching it.
9. 8
PETA has a special talent
for twisting religion into
justification for their
positions—they also have a
special talent for offending
religious people through
ads like these.
10. 9
PETA’s “Holocaust on Your
Plate” campaign equated
abuse of Jews by the Nazis
with farmers who raise
animals. Run by Matthew
Prescott, who now works at
the Humane Society of the
United States, this campaign
was rightly criticized by many
human rights organizations
and actually legally banned
in Germany.
11. 10
Because they got such rave
reviews after equating Jewish
people with chickens, PETA
doubled down and created a
campaign called the “Animal
Liberation Project.” This gem
compared the civil rights
struggle of African Americans
with lab animals and livestock.
Racist much?
