PETA has reacted to a shark attack in the Gulf of Mexico by launching another controversial ad.
21-year-old Charles Wickersham lost part of his leg last week and needed 800 stitches.
Since he had been spear-fishing, the response from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was to launch an ad showing a leg sticking out of a shark’s mouth with the words: “Payback is Hell. Go Vegan.”
Ashley Byrne with PETA told QMI Agency, they’re glad Wickersham is going to be okay but they hope that after experiencing such pain and fear, he will consider the fact that fish feel the same.
Byrne says they feel they have to do something unusual to get people to pay attention to the ways in which animals suffer.
