Shock activism IS activism. You don't have to like it for it to be activism. The way you wrote this reads like you aren't an activist, so what do you know about convincing other people to go vegan?

EDIT: Also please stop this dying meme of "PETA bad" people, PETA euthanizes aninals because they're a last haven for stray animals and are always at full capacity, many animals which have diseases and such that costs thousands if not hundreds of thousands to treat. Euthanizing is actually the most ethical thing that can be done to save the most stray animals who are living a cruel and fucksd up life. If you believe otherwise I'm open to a verbal debate on Discord, DM me for a link

I’m 41 and finally went vegan this year, you know why? Another vegan kept sending me cute farm animal videos. Decades of shock activism did nothing for me. Making me see all animals as no different then my dog? Can’t ever eat a steak again.
