A man in a chicken costume and other activists greeted students leaving Howard Middle School Wednesday with messages that eating meat would lead to food poisoning and obesity, according to Local 6 News.
The chicken and members of the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals delivered their messages at a street corner near Howard Middle School after being kicked off school property earlier in the day.
PETA group members gave out trading cards to the students telling them that eating chicken and beef is bad, according to the report. The students were also given letters for their parents.
"That wasn't appropriate for our kids to come out of the school house and have a protest or political statement being made," Howard Middle School Principal Tim Smith said. "We teach the appropriate things in the classroom."
PETA member Ben Goldsmith said Orlando is one of 12 cities on a list for the campaign.
"Our kids turn on the television and they are bombarded with ads from the meat industry, the chicken industry, telling them that eating dead animals is fun and it's good for their health," Goldsmith said. "That's not true."
The group said they will travel to Tampa, Fla., Thursday.
PETA = Please Eat The Animals? Positively Excellent Tasting Animals?
Chickens should be eaten and not heard.
If eating meat is wrong and against nature - what do lions eat? IT'S NATURAL TO EAT MEAT STUPID.
Ok peta freeks you know the rules, I have to now go and do the very same behavior you protest against. So its KFC for me tonight. Oh and by the way I am on atkins and have only eaten beef for the last 4 days and have lost weight.
I'm thinking about forming a PETA-eating blub (that's "club" for the non-SAF'ers). Anyone want to join?
Saw a bumper sticker in the Walmart parking lot the other day said "People for the Eating of Tasty Animals" lol
The answer is in our teeth.
God created us to eat meat. Or if you buy into evolution theory, we clearly evolved as meat eaters.
Chow down, kids... |
The word "vegetarian" in native american means "Bad Hunter".....
NeverGore :^)
We can put a stop to the indoctrination very quickly.
All we have to do is show up at their next stop dressed as an aborted baby and the schools will quickly claim they want no politicizing on school grounds.
If God didn't want us to eat animals why did he make them out of meat?
Gee...Eating lots of meat has helped me lose 70lbs and greatly improve my health.
I hope they'll forgive me for ignoring their inanity.
You have got to love the way they titled this article.
It's really a wacko PETA member in a costume.
These people have serious mental problems and should never be near children.
Now PETA has a new custom to hate as the Atkins Diet becomes more imbedded than ever before. It is so easy to stay long periods on a diet where one gets to eat SO MUCH meat/fat and some rabbit food type veggies. And guess what, blood lippid counts go down instead of up for most people on Atkins.
PETA is the real menance to health. Some of the least healthy looking people I've ever seen have been these fruit and bean eaters.
Vegetable-Aryan bump.
Then why do vegetarians die younger than meat eaters?
Cows eat grass and are fat. Wolves eat meat and are lean.
The bible says in both the Old Testament and the New Testament that meat is given to eat and should be received with thanksgiving.
