<p>These racist posts harken to early campaigns of vegan centered animal rights organizations, like PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), who throughout the 2000s and 2010s vividly compared nonhuman animal suffering with <a href="https://www.peta.org/media/psa/captivity-is-slavery/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">U.S. chattel slavery </a>and the <a href="https://www.spj.org/ecs14.asp" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Holocaust in Europe</a>.
