The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals shot itself in the foot with an anti-burger post made just before the Fourth of July holiday.
As everyone knows, the one thing you don't do before Independence Day is mock Americans for grilling burgers.
Unfortunately for PETA, this is exactly what the group did Tuesday in a post on the social media platform X.
The post featured a picture titled "meat-eater logic," a smug and ham-fisted attack on people who would choose to eat burgers this holiday.
In the image's sequence, people are horrified when offered burgers made out of horse, dolphin and puppy.
The last panel has a man looking more than happy to eat a "dead cow burger."
THEY’RE ALL EQUALLY BAD 🤦 just eat a veggie burger this #FourthOfJuly. pic.twitter.com/dKcTgzMGnD

It's hard to imagine how PETA saw this post succeeding, but user responses proved the group made a huge mistake.
The replies were flooded with photos of burgers and meats, and unlike Sen. Chuck Schumer, it's clear these people can cook.
