ASSPCA.com is the official home of People for the Eventual Disassociation from Animals (PEDA).
THE PREMISE
PEDA believes that it will be in the best interest of humans and animals to completely break off relations—diplomatic, social, economic, political and any other.
We take this position largely due to the ever-growing stockpile of evidence that consumption of animal protein in any significant quantity is detrimental to human health. It also supports an inordinately powerful agricultural-industrial complex, whose daily business practices negatively impact human and animal welfare in countless ways, from harmful hormone and antibiotic overdoses to staggering environmental pollution to lobbying and legislative duplicity that reaches the highest levels of our government.
PEDA further recognizes that it’s the responsibility of those who have the ability to do so (i.e., humans) to sever our ties with those who are unable to politely decline (i.e., animals) to participate in a relationship that does neither party any good whatsoever.
Basically, it’s time to kick the animals to the curb.
THE PRACTICE
Look—we’ve all had some great times together (well, not the animals so much; statistically speaking, they’ve had a pretty lousy time being part of our lives), but the facts are tough to dispute: We’re all grown up now. We’ve just got to stop depending on animals for everything. Sure, we’ll see them around, but they’ve got their own lives to lead, too. We’ll move on, they’ll move on—we all just need some space. And in time, we’ll look back and wonder what we even saw in those hairy, smelly idiots anyway.
Join the PEDA movement—cut animals out of your life today. It’s the first step toward better health, a better world and a better life.
