On Thursday, the animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) ripped Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), whom PETA’s president gushed was “a role model for how to live,” for obtaining a purebred French bulldog instead of adopting a dog.
PETA President Ingrid Newkirk stated, “AOC had a chance to set a compassionate, responsible example in the face of the homeless-animal crisis, but instead, she apparently inadvertently contributed to the problem. PETA is urging her supporters not to follow her lead in this case and to stick up for the underdog by choosing to give a lovable mutt a new lease on life.”
