People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals co-founder Ingrid Newkirk recently claimed in the Washington Examiner that her animal liberation group is not “lefty.” Oh, really? Let’s review PETA’s record.

If you think DEI politics is toxic, consider this: PETA’s main cause is fighting “speciesism.” Speciesism is an “ism” invented by the animal liberation movement. Essentially, it describes the concept of treating animals differently than we treat humans. “A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy,” Newkirk has said. Morally, to PETA, humans are on the same level as swine.
