A new Thanksgiving ad campaign targeted toward children in schools is barking up a storm this holiday season.
In a news release, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced this week that its new outdoor billboard advertising campaign will focus around a central message: "How would children feel if Fido and Fluffy were stuffed and roasted for Thanksgiving?"
The ads feature the head of a Jack Russell terrier on the body of a turkey, and reads, "Kids: If You Wouldn't Eat Your Dog, Why Eat a Turkey?"
The group said the billboards are going up near schools in Oklahoma, Oregon, Florida, New Mexico, Utah and Tennessee.
"Kids love animals, and if they thought about how turkeys feel pain and fear just as dogs and cats do, they'd trade in their drumsticks for Tofurky in a heartbeat," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said. "This Thanksgiving, families can give all animals something to be thankful for by sticking to humane, delicious vegan meals."

Isn’t this terrorizing the children?

Exactly. All joking aside, If my little kid was confronted by some PETA A-hole pulling this stunt, I’m likely to be eating my turkey dinner from the county jail.
As I would have kicked the crap out of said PETA A-hole.
Ooops, I read that wrong....ostriches ARE dumber than TURKEYS! I didn’t think anything could be dumber.
4 drumsticks are better than two.
When it came time to chop heads and harvest the fruits of our labors, he could tell I wasn't too happy about doing it.
Dad gave me a little talk which went something like this:
"I know you've done most of the work of raising these turkeys and aren't happy about killing them. But remember when you fed and watered them every day? Remember when you cleaned up their poop and gave them fresh bedding repeatedly? Remember how they thanked you by pooping in it again? And didn't even have sense to come in out of the rain and you had to go out and drive them into shelter? Well, this is how you collect your pay for all that work!"
This is insensitive to Koreans. I think PETA needs to attend some diversity training.
I once went eight weeks without any food and finally acquired a raw squash and a 15 year old can of mandarin oranges which I promptly ate. I spent the next 12 hours vomiting. Today, the only food at which I draw the line is ‘long pig’. That would take 12 weeks.
Ah, talking about the good ol’ “meat-powered beat-down”.
I’d share the cell with you.
If God hadn't intended for people to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat.
PBS never told what happened afterward with the mating season since the naturalist had asserted his dominance over the flock and thus had the right to mate with the nearby hens.
And liberal vegetarians make ostriches look like geniuses?
Tracy Reiman, MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!
There is a book 500 ways to WOK your dog.

I think we should stuff peta arseholes and feed them to pigs.

The PETA organization has gone on the record wishing death and destruction to agricultural industries, restaurants, and scientific laboratories because their animals are their business to slaughter, cook, serve, and dissect.
PETA has a ‘death wish’ for businesses and science labs that don’t adhere to the organization’s radical animal ‘rights’ agenda. Learn the truth about PETA at petakillsanimals.com.
The Center for Consumer Freedom cites PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich on July 3, 2001 stating in an audio recording, “It would be great if all the fast-food outlets, slaughter houses, these laboratories and the banks who fund them exploded tomorrow.”

PETA seeks “total animal liberation,” according to its president and co-founder, Ingrid Newkirk. That means no meat or dairy, of course; but it also means no aquariums, no circuses, no hunting or fishing, no fur or leather, and no medical research using animals. PETA is even opposed to the use of seeing-eye dogs.
STOP!Don't eat your dog - eat a dog-burger!

The members of the Lewis and Clark expedition got fat on cooked dogs. They even prefered it over cooked horse.
