From people usually shaming those who eat non-veg to jokes about vegans and vegetarians, the arguments of both clans have been a point of discourse for years. And one organization that has always been at the forefront of this appeal for everyone to go vegan is PETA.

The advocates had some valid points
There are so many great plant alternatives to choose from.

As always, PETA was heavily advocating this tweet by shutting down haters with memes and informative articles wherever relevant. While the tweet has been made by the PETA US handle, PETA India has also endorsed this tweet by saying “We agree with friends at @peta US. In fact, it’s actually as weird as drinking dog’s milk or rat’s milk. Cow milk is baby bovine food. Beef & leather industries exist largely because they are supplied cattle to kill by the dairy sector. No species needs any milk after infancy.” From Soy to Peanut, 5 Different Types of Plant-Based Milk To Try Out As Alternatives to Dairy.
It is important to note that while these arguments and debates continue and focus on the greater good, alternative dairy continues to be expensive to buy for most people across the world. What are your thoughts on PETA’s strong stand?
