PETA badly miscalculated people’s willingness to eat a T-Rex – 16 (pre)historic takedowns
American animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – PETA – took an unusual angle in their bid to stop people eating meat, and it was one for the ages.
Think twice before ordering that chicken sandwich… T-Rexes wouldn't approve of you eating their descendants 👉 https://t.co/cxlUXI2HhY #DinosaurDay pic.twitter.com/GauRbTwjju

Now we’re talking. Finally we agree on something. T Rex would be amazing. They were fully organic then. This is how I’d prepare. https://t.co/NoYYFOStYP pic.twitter.com/DN1tJ40ZWK

PETA has massively fumbled its message on this because I would 100% eat a t-rex.

If a T-Rex tasted like chicken I'd be ordering the family box of T-Rex from Popeyes. https://t.co/rcnY7LJkTC

Question: Would you eat a T-rex?
I sure as heck would try it!

PETA really needs to hire some meat-eaters as consultants, someone needs to tell them that their target audience thinks eating a T-rex sounds fucking badass https://t.co/CtFr2k8XTh

Well done PETA. You assumed that people wouldn’t eat dinosaurs, and now they’re composing a whole menu of them. https://t.co/4R04hE8lFz

Qblurt had an animal rights angle.
?
PETA: You wouldn't eat T-rex, so don't eat chicken.
QBLURT: You should eat even more T-rex, since 1 has enough meat to spare 2308 chickens. https://t.co/UsYSQCeyqP pic.twitter.com/jzEZL3Ftdi

We can’t help anyone source T-Rex burgers, but if you want to know about PETA’s 3-week vegan challenge, you can find it here.
