If You Think Your PETA-Acronym Joke Is Original, You’re Badly Mistaken

A sense of humor is important. Here at PETA, we like to flaunt ours. Whether we’re “hunting” veggies or making fun videos, we love to laugh every now and then. But we don’t love jokes that are stale, unkind, and—worst of all—not even funny. We hope you’ve perfected your eye roll—you’re going to need it:

Three votes? Legit poll.

Wow, “Peter” sounds nuts.

We love “pets,” too. But we prefer to call them animal companions. Oh, and about those proteins …

Shots fired. How will we ever recover?
