PETA awarded the Cats movie an ‘Oscat’ and people were cringing hard

The organisation, PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is a campaign group that calls out abuse and exploitation of, well, animals – which is clearly admirable.

Sometimes, however, people think they go a tad too far.

Here’s what they had to say about the widely panned Cats film, which was most definitely not nominated for an Oscar.

Did you know? #CatsMovie won a #PETAOscat for leaving real animals OUT of the film and using CGI instead. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/qqScTVUHQh

Bhargav Chandramouli had a surprising piece of information for PETA.

Did you know that cats can’t act? I know, what a shocker

And Jaguars Trump had another point.
