People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) upholds a mission to defend the rights of all animals. It operates under the straightforward tenet that animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
To enforce their mission, PETA deployed “zombies” outside the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers (KLCC) to protest meat eaters and urged them to go vegan.
On their Twitter page, PETA Asia stated that the protest was to remind people that animals are also made of meat, flesh and blood just like humans.
Thus, it is not fair to serve these living things as food on a plate. During the protest, the zombies were holding banners with statements such as “Flesh is Flesh Go Vegan”. The statements were displayed in three languages.

However, the debate on veganism is one that has no conclusion.
Malaysians shared their thoughts on the protest and did not hold back on their sarcasm.
Shout out to all vegans for all of the extra meats that we can enjoy!

Pesticides = not good for bees & bugs.
Chemical fertiliser = not good for worms & insects.
Mass farming = not good for ecosystems & wild life.
Let’s not bring american ideologies here. Shoo. Go away. I need beef/chicken rendang, not tempeh rendang

One of the netizens even stated that veganism is an amazing scam.

However, according to an article by Petre (2022) in Healthline, vegan diet has its own advantages. Vegan diet has much more nutrients and it can help one in their journey to lose weight.
Moreover, this diet also helps in improving functions of the kidney and lowering blood sugar levels. In such ways, vegan diet may be helpful to humankind.
Choosing a diet is a personal choice. The important thing is to make sure that one follows a diet that is healthy and can fit into one’s lifestyle.
It does not matter if you are a meat eater or vegan, the main thing is to eat right and eat healthy.
