I'd have no objection to its being trimmed to a single sentence (ideally with a citation for PETA's original statement), but I'll leave others to attempt that. undo Tag: Undo

• curprev 17:3017:30, 25 May 2023 Heavy Water talk contribs 7,463 bytes −561 I'm *sure* a spammish site called "Pork Business" is an RS, especially when it comes to PETA. "Waging war against colloquialisms and the English language" is definitely NPOV because it's supported by random tweets, obviously RSes. Finally, none of the sources even mentioned "scientific backlash" and that would be laughable at any rate because PETA was saying overfeeding a horse *would* be a problem. undo Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
