Norfolk, Va. â The record-breaking Squid Game is sure to inspire a lot of DIY Halloween costumes this yearâso to give those ensembles an animal rights spin, PETA is now taking orders for its limited-edition âRed Light, Green Lightâ costume prop, which reminds everyone that going vegan is the most effective way to avoid âelimination.â
âStudies show that, on average, vegans live about 15 years longer than meat-eaters do, so anyone who wants to stay in the game in real life should stop eating animals,â says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. âPETA offers free vegan starter kits, delicious recipes, and more to help give anyone the green light for a longer, healthier life.â
In addition to saving the lives of nearly 200 animals per year each person who goes vegan reduces their risk of suffering from heart disease, cancer, strokes, and diabetes and helps prevent widespread âelimination.â Animal agriculture is responsible for nearly one-fifth of human-induced greenhouse-gas emissions, and SARS, swine flu, bird flu, and COVID-19 all stemmed from confining and killing animals for food.
PETA suggests completing the costume by pairing the âRed Light, Green Lightâ prop with a yellow button-up short-sleeve shirt, an orange dress, white socks, and black flatsâplus a pack of vegan starter kits to give to curious partygoers and trick-or-treaters.
PETAâwhose motto reads, in part, that âanimals are not ours to eatââopposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
