PETA Buying Up Stock in Meat Companies

Taking advantage of low stock prices, PETA has been buying up shares in pork and poultry producers and distributors, including Pilgrim’s Pride, Tyson, Sonic, O’Charley’s, Domino’s Pizza, California Pizza Kitchen, and Ingles Markets.

Though I think it’d be great if the companies that are known for abusing their animals before killing them (Tyson, for example) were made to clean up their act, I can’t see PETA just stopping there. For example, commenters over here have brought up the point that if they own a large enough share they can make some pretty big demands, and knowing PETA they’re not going to gently suggest a vegan option on the fast food menus.

What do you think? Will we see the demise of Domino’s and Tyson over the next few years because of this or have PETA just shot themselves in the foot and wasted a lot of money?
