PETA Asks Twitter For Reasons To Eat Bacon. It Backfires Dramatically.

As you can imagine, PETA lost that battle faster than Ron Swanson can throw away vegan bacon. Within moments of the post, PETA was inundated with snarky retorts and, of course, endless bacon gifs.

For example, Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro, who, as an Orthodox Jew, doesn’t even eat bacon, couldn’t help but to troll the food police.
