PETA’s Play-by-Play: THE Super Bowl Coverage for People Who Care About Animals

Did you miss our live coverage? Check out our reactions to Super Bowl 50’s commercials, halftime show, and all the other action and see what these things mean for animals here. And yes, we were shamelessly rooting for Denver Bronco and PETA pal Chris Harris Jr. all night long. And even though PETA’s latest steamy Super Bowl ad didn’t air during the game, you can catch it here.

Chicken wings are divided into 3 parts: “drummette,” the two-boned middle segment, & tips. Every four wings are equivalent to one chicken.
