PeTA has released a new ad on YouTube (May 12, 2021) that is unskippable. It's about helping owls at a research facility, that are being mistreated and abused, and I'm totally okay with helping animals out of horrible situations, but they showed it in the complete WRONG way. The unskippable ad has the high pitched and loud "screaming" and screching of the owls being mistreated, without any kind of warning. Me, being a person with PTSD and DID, it was very triggering, sending me into a panic. And I know this has been happening to other people, since me and some of my friends and their friends (who have mental illnesses and panic disorders like me) have had similar reactions to the ad. For anyone with mental illness, when you see an ad by PeTA, close out of the YouTube app or browser completely so that you don't have to go through it and try and report it. For others, please contact YouTube and report it in any kind of way you can (Twitter, FB, Insta, etc). PeTA has done this before, so please, when you see this reblog it to get it recognition. Thanks for anyone who read this, and a big thanks for reblogging. #stop PeTA
