PETA has message for North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum after wildfires hit the state

After wildfires hit North Dakota, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, known as PETA, have sent Governor Doug Burgum a message that they believe he should ditch meat to combat the extreme weather that contributes to natural disasters like wildfires.

The action follows up on a statement from PETA which argued that North Dakota’s “Beef Month” in May is a bad idea since the United Nations says about a third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are linked to food production, mostly from the meat and dairy industries.
