One of these three is not like the others.

Lying about fossil fuels and the climate catastrophe will literally kill our biosphere.

Lying about the safety of vaccines and about infectious diseases in general has killed hundreds of thousands of people just this year!

Against that, even the worst accusations against PETA are dust in the wind.

I would add that I see nothing wrong with them running high-kill shelters, and I say this as someone who has brought literally dozens of dogs from shelters into our home to be adopted.

In many parts of America, there simply aren't the resources to deal with all the stray animals, no laws to require pet owners to be responsible and no culture of responsible pet ownership.

Now I live in a country where adopting dogs is almost impossible: because of both laws and culture regulating pet ownership, there are almost no stray dogs at all. (All cats and dogs are chipped and if your chipped pet shows up at a shelter, it is returned to you, or you get a huge fine.)

I'm not going to justify PETA and to be honest, I don't even know much about them, but when seen in perspective with vaccine liars and climate change deniers, they are very small beans indeed.
