PETA and its sick way of advertising..they should be ashamed

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. - 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.

This reminds me of a story when some lefty animal-rights advocate was interviewing Ted Nugent and tried to put a guilt trip on him. They asked him on what he thought was going through a deer's mind right before a hunter shot them; whether is was concern for their life, concern for their family, etc.... Ted's reply was classic. He said, "A deer doesn't think like you or I. When they see something, they ask themselves if they can eat it, run from it, or hump it. In that respect, they're very much like the French."

The biggest whitetail buck I ever shot was completely involved in the act of Teds description - and I always felt a little guilt over that :wink: :lol:

Rutting Buck........ right up there with Rutting Cariboo, Moose, Billy Goat and Cancer Eye Cow for my idea of Fine Eating.

Don't they open seasons early enough down there that you can get some good meat.

I'm not trying to be a smartazz. I've been watching some of Wild TV and all they talk about is hunting in the rut. Easy hunting, inedible meat. My opinion.

Oh yeah- we can get 8-10 does earlier in the season for eating-- but many save their Buck tag for later when the bucks are running with the does looking for a trophy one....Lots of years I eat my tag- when I don't find a big enough one-- but we always got almost too much venison in the house....

Thanks OT, I've just never been much of a trophy hunter.

We can shoot a doe each and every day of the 90 day season.

Just a year or so ago we could also shoot a buck each day.

PETA has no shame. Their motto is "any publicity is good publicity." They get a lot of free publicity for being outrageous and rude. The more publicity they get, the more money rolls in. That's what they're about, money.
