PETA believes its ad was not approved for the Super Bowl because it was inspired by Colin Kaepernick.

has its own Super Bowl spot, featuring animated animals taking a knee to protest injustice, but thevibes were too strong to get network approval ... at least that's what PETA thinks.

The animal rights org tells TMZ ... it wanted to make a commercial calling for an end to speciesism ... to"challenge people to expand their concept of injustice to include humans' injustice against other species."PETA says the ad agency it hired nailed it with a that features a hummed version of the Star Spangled Banner over images of animals taking a knee. It says the spot was pitched last month to FOX ... which is airing Super Bowl LIV.PETA says things seemed promising -- a FOX commercial clearance rep replied on December 30 saying the network received the spot and was reviewing it. Again on January 3, PETA says it was told the ad was still being discussed internally, and FOX would have an answer ASAP.

However, despite multiple follow-ups ... PETA says it hasn't heard a peep since then. As for why? PETA claims its ad agency told them the NFL was pressuring FOX to reject the spot. PETA also claims multiple requests to run the ad in local FOX markets -- either before or after the Super Bowl -- have also gone unanswered.

This beautiful ad goes to show that anyone with a voice, an actual meaningful strong point of view to change, will be shoved. Funny how kneeling has become offensive. 😏

Fuck PETA!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

NFL wants nothing to do with him!! He dug his hole now he can lay in it!!

White Americans are back in control; this is America today. vote or fall in line. Is she worth it?

Kaepernick please go away!!

You’re tweeting abt it — that’s as warm a shoulder as they come. You’re TMZ ffs — you of all crews shd know how publicity worx. 😂

Good

If I were an animal I would be offended

Maybe they are kneeling because they are fed with be kill for the fun of IT too.

Ridiculous!!

Yawn. Boring.

Kap can’t even get in the game through a commercial

Who is Colin Kaepernick? Congratulations PETA for all the hard work on the stupidest commercial, EVER ... KEEP AMERICA GREAT! trump eatmeat

PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS

i was expecting something well-intentioned but corny , but it was actually brilliant animation and concept .

Sorry lol and I don’t even care if it has to do with Kaep or not.. but just from a creative perspective, this was not well executed. Animals taking knees? It just looks silly. I’m sure their could’ve been more creativity to get the point across. Like really? Snakes have knees

Good. It’s a stupid ad.

Wheres your story about amber heard being physically abusive to johnny depp

Is the snake taking a knee? Lol

if thats even true it serves you right for trying to be sneaky. As per usual you seem more interested in drama than actually doing any good.

Anything to do with Colin Kaepernick is going to be stupid.

A fish taking a knee.... brilliant... same idiots who line up in the meat section and yell. stupidisasstupiddoes

I don’t blame them ... that ad is evil

Anything thT got to do wit kap gettin shunned by da nfl

peta is a terrorist organization

If these animals were a football team they would pass on Kaepernick

So stupid

Progressive liberalism is a mental disorder!

This political 💩 ruins everything.

In honor of this buffoonery, I’m going to have a veal sub and glass of milk.

check me out,maybe one day we gon join em charts,who knows

👍👍

Pure trash.. I will turn the game off if they air this dung

Good news

If this was a painting it would get picked up faster and for more money than Colin Kaepernick.

HandofGlory666 gave this the warm shoulder.

Delicious

Sucks

Colin, we get it. you like to be on your knees

Makes sense that two crazies would collaborate

thelittleponce

What did they expect 😂

I like it

Good!

That's not right he had a right to express his beliefs!

I think it's a good ad

Seriously, PETA

Bc kaepernick just wants to make noise. He has no end goal.

If they accept political dollars from Bloomberg and Trump, they should accept this ad as well.

Lol, I don’t care if he ever plays or not, I actually would like to see if he still can. But why would the NFL Let this air during any of their events ?

This makes as much sense as CK taking a knee in front of a US flag ...😯🤔 SMH

Colin Kaepernick is the snake.

Oh. MY. Gahhhhh. I'm so sick of CK..BS. Peta couldn't come up with a TRUE role model? CK walks around with blinders on..one track mind..🙄😯🤔😅🤬

Because PETA is a bunch of lunatics. Has nothing to do with Kaep

Is the snake taking the knee?

Lol

peta is a terrorist organization

Because no one likes ether of those things!! Just like the guy who invented rasiens in cookies! Fuck that guy and his cookies!!

Go home PETA, you’re drunk!

PETA & Kaepernick. A perfect combo of dumbassery.

Good! I a tired of all the BS surrounding kaepernick. Time for the loser to go away

PETA be making me wanna kick a dog in the face.

A bald eagle kneeling? Yeah right. Peta has 10 million to blow on a commercial but can't use the 10 million to save more animals? Send that money to Australia.

Tf the snake doing

No shit. It’s the NFL

how tf a snake gonna kneel
