PETA's been busy fielding backlash over their decision to target Steve Irwin (RIP) in a post on Twitter. The message was insensitive and naturally, torn apart by outraged Twitter users. From there, we can see PETA targeted Elon Musk and Jimmy Fallon, as well. They would seem insistent on being as annoying and rude as possible to the world around them.

    peta vs steve irwin - Text - PETA Follow @peta Steve Irwin's actions were not on target with his supposed message of protecting wildlife. A real wildlife expert & someone who respects animals for the individuals they are leaves them to their own business in their natural homes.

    peta vs steve irwin - Text - PETA Follow PETA @peta It is harassment to drag exotic animals, including babies taken from their mothers, around from TV talk shows to conferences & force them to perform as Steve Irwin did. Animals deserve to live as they want to, not as humans demand-the #GoogleDoodle should represent that.

    peta vs steve irwin - Text - PETA @peta Feb 25 ATAElon Musk shamelessly laughing at a dead deer's corpse tells us a lot about the sorry state of our cultural norms. It was seen as socially acceptable (praiseworthy for some) even though people would be horrified was it a person's corpse instead. Animals are NOT entertainment. t 17K 53K 11K Elon Musk Follow @elonmusk Replying to @peta it was a dolphin tho, Imao 10:12 AM 26 Feb 2019 38,437 Retweets 170,965 Likes

    peta vs steve irwin - Text - PETA @peta PETA Dear @JimmyFallon, Stop using wild animals on #FallonTonight, it's exploitation plain and simple. Animals are not ours to use for entertainment and they don't want to be on your show. Let wild animals stay wild & stop exploiting them for a segment CC: Irwins 26/02/2019, 06:10 158 RETWEETS 587 LIKES

    Like, come on, PETA. Just stop.

    peta vs steve irwin - Text - PETA came to Nebraska and bought a bunch of our live lobsters and freed them onto the Missouri river. The Missouri river is freshwater. Lobsters are saltwater. Yeah, they died. Thanks, PETA. Like 1.061 Reply More 29 March genter.com
