T-Rex steaks are all the rage after PETA once again fumbles its social media messaging

PETAs heart may be in the right place, but a new tweet from the animal rights organization has awakened a very peculiar hunger on social media. After a tweet pointing out that chickens are arguably descended from dinosaurs (which is true, sort of), they argue that if you wouldnt eat a T-Rex, you shouldnt eat

PETA‘s heart may be in the right place, but a new tweet from the animal rights organization has awakened a very peculiar hunger on social media. After a tweet pointing out that chickens are arguably descended from dinosaurs (which is true, sort of), they argue that if you wouldn’t eat a T-Rex, you shouldn’t eat a chicken.

Think twice before ordering that chicken sandwich… T-Rexes wouldn't approve of you eating their descendants 👉 https://t.co/cxlUXI2HhY #DinosaurDay pic.twitter.com/GauRbTwjju

There’s only one problem. The concept of chowing down on a T-Rex steak is a hit!

How about these instead!👇🌱https://t.co/wtlwz3tJHz

We suspect that if a T-Rex jumped through time, there’s a good chance it’d wind up on someone’s dinner plate:

Hell, if presented with a bonafide T-Rex steak, we’d be tempted just to say we tried it:

You could probably get a lot of meat from one.

Let’s be fair, a T-Rex would eat us given half a chance, so maybe it’d be time for some payback:

All you can eat BBQ at your house. Let's do it.

And, naturally, dusty, old The Flintstones memes are being dragged out of storage:

But perhaps PETA’s team is smarter than they appear. After all, a hit tweet like this is raising engagement, and the more people consider the cruelty necessary to bring a chicken sandwich to your plate, the more some might be tempted to go vegetarian or vegan. After all, they’re not going to convert everyone all at once.

Besides, with the amount of fake meat substitutes out there, we’ve always felt they’re missing a trick by just replicating boring old meats like cow and pig. Why can’t we stroll down to the supermarket and pick up a vegan-friendly T-Rex or Mammoth burger? Or why not go for some mythological beasts, too? Soy Wyvern tendies, anyone?
