PETA Owl Ad

Last night I was woken up by the most terrifying noise I've ever heard. An ad recently released by PETA was playing through my earbuds. I use ASMR on Youtube to fall asleep at night. It was like 3 in the morning when the tortured screams of owls woke me. I completely understand the need to end the unnecessary experimentation on these poor animals, but I really don't think an ad like that is appropriate. I suffer from nightmares, night terrors, and audio & visual hallucinations. This was utterly terrifying. I can't get the sound out of my head. I implore you to read the article, but I beg you, do not listen to the video. I don't know if anyone else has seen/heard it. I feel like I'm overreacting but I haven't been that scared since I was in a relationship with my ex. If any of you read my post on what happened with my ex it's pretty clear that this fear was severe. Sorry for freaking out but it really really bothered me.

Why would anyone want to experiment on owls? Seems very odd. Personally I'm not a PETA fan, they use shock tactics to get money, but then euthanase perfectly healthy animals.

Of course you were traumatized! What a horrible ad....typical of PETA'S over the top tactics. Maybe they do some good, but I wouldn't give them a dime. I prefer to donate to local animal shelters.What might make you feel better is to make a donation to a local wildlife center. I used to volunteer at one of these, and they often care for owls who are injured or sick.
