AS PART of one of their more bizarre campaign strategies, PETA has decided to branch out into the world of dating.
The organisation has recently decided to offer dating advice to those in pursuit of being swiped right – a vote of approval by a prospective partner – on the online dating app Tinder.
In a letter, the animal rights group called on Tinder’s co-founder Sean Rad to ban the use of tiger selfies on the dating platform.
According to PETA, taking a selfie with a tiger is cruel and unnecessary and should result in swipe to the left – a vote of disapproval.
PETA’s associate director of campaigns Ashley Fruno went as far to suggest that when it comes to the world of dating apps, tigers should be treated in the same way as humans.
There would be major opposition if “someone was caged, dominated, and tied down or drugged before their photo was taken and uploaded online,” she said.
Ms. Fruno went on to add an inappropriate sexual pun, writing “now is the perfect time to help protect pussies by banning the most selfish selfie of all.”
If such a ban were to be imposed on Tinder – the world’s most popular dating app – it would mark a considerable move to clamp down on the freedom of users to personalise their profiles.
PETA’s belief that Tinder should be “taking the tiger stripes out of swipes” clearly shows that the organisation is more concerned about rhymes than meaningful rhetoric.
