PETA receives EPIC community note on X after claiming turkeys would never dine on humans

The radical animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was slapped with an epic community note on X for its Thanksgiving post showing an image of turkeys with their heads bowed in prayer, sitting around a table preparing to dine on a roasted human.

The image designed by an X user who identifies as “The Vegan Rapper” was captioned, “We’re lucky turkeys would never do this to us—you don’t have to do it to them, either.”

We’re lucky turkeys would never do this to us—you don’t have to do it to them, either.
