Upholding a campaign against men who consume meat, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has given a call to women across the globe to go on sex strike against their male partners who consume meat. The urge from PETA came while quoting a study of a journal, Plos One, which reveals that men contribute more to climate catastrophe than women by consuming more meat.

PETA thus asked for a sex ban on such meat-eating men as research says their habit result in 41 per cent more greenhouse gases emission.

Dr Carys Bennett, a PETA campaign in Germany, said men should be held responsible for their action that has degraded the environment. She said that we are killing over one billion chickens, cows, pigs every year. She also requested everyone to adopt a vegan diet.

As per a report of Telegraph, besides sex ban, officials are also mulling at unleashing hefty meat tax, a provision that was discussed during the ideation session.

Daniel Cox, from the Germany branch of PETA, said that toxic masculinity “harms the climate” and a 41 per cent meat tax should be imposed on meat eating men.
