PETA-"Bus Decapitation?..now you know how animals feel".. :|

*Any one who doesn't know about the original story read HERE"

:|.............

"An animal rights group has tried - and failed - to run a newspaper ad comparing the beheading of a passenger on a Greyhound bus last week to the treatment of animals by the meat industry.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, said on its website it would run the ad in the Portage la Prairie Daily Graphic.

However, city editor Tara Seel said the newspaper had no intention of running the ad, which uses imagery of "an innocent victim's throat" being cut, in reference to the slaughter of cows, chickens and pigs on factory farms.

"His struggles and cries are ignored ... the man with the knife shows no emotion ... the victim is slaughtered and his head cut off ... his flesh is eaten," reads the ad, which is posted on the website.

"If this ad leaves a bad taste in your mouth, please give a thought to what sensitive animals think and feel when they come to the end of their frightening journey and see, hear and smell the slaughterhouse."

Seel would not specify reasons for why the newspaper was choosing not to run the ad, except to say it wasn't something they wanted to do. She noted the newspaper had been inundated with calls from other media since the posting to the PETA website.

Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old carnival worker Tim McLean, who was stabbed and decapitated aboard a Greyhound bus on July 30.

Li has been ordered by a judge to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

"Like human victims, animals in slaughterhouses experience terror when they are attacked by a knife-wielding assailant," Lindsay Rajt of PETA said in a news release. "We are challenging everyone who is rightly horrified by this crime to look into their hearts and consider leaving violence off their dinner plates."

Rajt said the ad was intended to be shocking and is meant to spur people to think about the terror and pain experienced by animals who are raised and killed for food."

wow... peta and westro baptist church should join each other....

PETA is a bunch of murderous bastards. How dare they condone the eating of poor, helpless veggies!

Eat more animals!

Animal lovers disgust me. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs, but someone who treats their puppy better than their own family, needs to do some serious re-evaluation.3eyedrazorback

Agreed.

Know what's funny? Humans are animals. When animals are...cut into pieces, they get all angry. Yet, when a human gets cut into pieces, they go, "Serves them right."ayanami_rei

Are you speaking of...actually, I don't have an idea what you're saying...

And the human race reaches new lows when commenting on the death of one of their own species...

That's pathetic. Sure animal cruelty is bad, but should not be compared with human-human cruelty and acts of violence.

And for that, you receive my kudos sir.

Why can't these people understand that humans are omnivores, meaning it's part of our biological make-up to eat meat. Just because we need more efficient ways to get it doesn;t mean we shouldn't be eating it.Big_player

Can you use an example? I'm still on the confused side, when I know I should be getting what you're trying to say.

Agreed.

I guess knee-jerk reactions are the "in" thing. I guess if you hate the KKK for instance, you also hate all white people. Works well. Hate the ACLU? Guess you hate all minorities as well.

Okay, so a man is horribly murdered, a family and the bus' passengers traumatized, and all PETA does is try to spin it into some anti-meat propaganda? That is low. Dang Low. *Eats 100% beef hamburger in revenge*

I wonder, what is PETA's stance on Bigfoot?

They have some nerve using somebody's brutal death to further their agendas.

Plus, I don't know about all of you, but I love a big juicy burger or a rack of ribs! *yummy*

Okay.. now I have a reason to hate PETA. sinistergoggles

Trust me there are PLENTY of reasons to hate PETA.

Very good vid about PETA

In my mind PETA is nothing more than a pathetic, lightweight terrorist organization with some truely dumb and insane members. As someone who very much believes in fighting for animal rights in certain ways, I hate the way this group of morons makes animal sympathizers look incredibly stupid.....

PETA people should just eat their salads and tofu and leave the rest of us alone, they lie so stinkin much and accuse everyone remotely attached to the meat industry of being as cruel and violent as can be. I go to my uncle's farm all the time, the only thing that ever emotionally affected me is when calves get separated from their moms. Slaughterhouses can be bad, but why are you yelling at us, PETA, go after the slaughterhouses some more, buy them some electric shock guns or somethign to kill the animals, don't tell us not to eat meat. Cat microwavers, people that kill their horses because of a broken ankle, people that throw their animals at walls, those guys are bad. People that sit down and have a nice meal of turkey on Thanksgiving are not bad.

Wow, how's that for a rant?

lol, only second to the vid I posted.

Penn and Teller REALLY destroy PETA on every level and I haven't been able to think of the group in any sort of positive light since.

Efficiency doesn't have to be inhumane.SolidSnake35

quite the contrary, quick deaths should be less costly.

people that kill their horses because of a broken ankle

As that video showed, this isn't the first time PETA's done this.

No, this is just a lesser version of their 'Holocaust On Your Plate' campaign. >_>

Yeah well, even plants feel pain. So I guess, we shouldn't eat them too.MFaraz_Hayat

No idea. I just read it in a newspaper, that some scientists from Baylor Medical Centre have proved this. I thought it was correct because my knowledge of biology is quite limited. Some bio experts here might shed some light.
