Whatever you may think of PETA, this is a genius move IMHO. By honoring Naruto, the crested black macaque with a famously goofy grin, as “Person of the Year” the organisation is emphasising that “he is someone, not something”. And what a person he is! I only wish he were able to revel in this accolade – though as long as he is safe and happy…. Go Naruto!

Great idea! SOMEONE. I ended up in online arguments by referring to Harambe as “he” instead of “it.” He was someone too–before he was murdered.
I’m a PETA fan and member. I think some of the advertising stunts could be updated. But they have become a global force.
Bless Naruto. Hope he is well and stays that way.
