I have to say that I side with PETA on this one. Although I can't defend their choice of words, which seems rather ridiculous and inappropriate, but I'd consider the possibility of them being the result of editing decisions.
I find any act of violence against a conscious being to be a deplorable act of malice. Beside, using meat for basic nutrition is very inefficient and creates a great deal of problems in todays world.
LOL! Peta is a bunch of hypocrites. Why do they find it strange and cruel for peruvians to have a catfood festival, and compare it to korean dogwokerry, but forget our own emerican tendancy to eat beef? in what whay is beefeating different from wokking a monkey? PH for Fail on cultural awareness.
That's either selective reasoning or you don't really know anything about PETA at all. First of they're made up from vegans and vegetarians, neither of which eat meat, whether it's beef, monkey or cat. Secondly, they constantly protest the american meat-eating tendencies.
Someone should probably tell them Bessie the cow and Henny Penny the chicken wouldn't exist if we didn't want to eat them. Stop talking like they're pets, if people magically stopped eating meat, much of these critters would go extinct
I don't really see a problem with that. If they don't exist then there would be no problem to begin with. In fact, I dare say that PETA would welcome such a reality, as the multitude and high numbers of livestock animals would present a serious problem when meat consumption would cease.
Seriously, did anyone see that campaign they had where they were (with pictures) comparing cattle to Jews in concentration camps? It was the most ridiculous, retarded, and outright foul comparison I've ever seen.
I find that to be a rather fitting comparison. In fact I think the Jews in concentration camps are even a rather soft comparison, as the conditions and killing methods for animals in captivity tend to be much worse than that.
If you're insulted by the comparison because of racial differences then in human context you'd be a racist, I see that to be a fitting description in this case as well.
