PETA's new "banned" Thanksgiving Ad

[SykkBoy]

My fiancee is a vegan, so that means in addition to the normal thanksgiving spread, I'll be cooking up vegan brown gravy, tofurkey and using vegetable stock in my recipes that normally require chicken stock....so not a huge tradeoff...she sent me a link to this video today and I actually got a kick out of it...

I love their marketing department....

Its a clever ad to try to recruit people if that is their goal, the whole try to guilt people apporach works well with religions, why not with their cult, err i mean food club or whatever it is.

So if I let my turkey live in a nice resort fenced in area, where he lives a good life and when he dies of grand old age I cook him up and eat him, never having used chemicals, would they still bitch then about eating meat ?

What is wrong with eating meat. I don't understand vegertarians or what ever their hip name is these days. If it is about eating living things, plants are living things and god's creatures too. Or is there another angle with this no eat meat junk. Or is it just "cool" and another typical thing that comes out of california ?

Serious?
They are complete retards.....even their employees are grossed out by what they produce.
The strategy is shock and banking on the fact that bad press will get the name out there faster

PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals. There's a dude that I play poker with regularly that has that hat, cracked me up the first time I saw it.

Fuck PETA.

If anyone has seen this eposide, it is funny as shit.... "vegan pussies".




PETA is a bunch of whack job nuts.

It's one thing to love animals, want to protect them from Mike Vick type shit, but turkey's, pigs, cows etc... they are not animals, they are food. They are farmed (raised) for food just like plants. Plants are slaughtered too when their fruit is ripped off of their branches or their roots are ripped out of the ground. How horrific!!!

There are animals that are for food and then there are animals that are for pets, why not focus on the protecting the pets the ones that we dont eat, that are not here to provide us with food. any extremist is a whack job, peta fits right in with the rest of the extremits.

I believe you can be against animal cruelty and still eat meat...
so I do...hehe

I'm a big supporter of farmers markets, etc. Having grown up on a ranch, I have more of a problem with some of these factory farms that isn't about meat vs. non-meat...
what many don't realize is the living conditions of some of these animals can have effects on us as well....cows fed with extra hormones and fed corn versus grass (because corn is cheaper, but cows can't digest it properly so it causes other issues)

I wonder how many people would continue to eat meat if they had to visit the cow that was going to be in their big mac...or kill it themselves...or watch the cows packed into tight spaces knee deep in cow shit, that is basically washed away with a little water when those cows are butchered...

BTW, I don't have a veg agenda and it leads to some interesting discussions with my fiance...hehe...I talk about ethical hunting and ethical farming...

her thing with animals, say she and I owned a farm and knew the animals lived a cruelty-free life safe from hormones, unsafe feed, etc. she wouldn't have a problem eating eggs produced by the chickens we had...same with if we had a cow that was meant to be butchered...she of course wouldn't be able to watch or participate...

It is funny about the trendy vegetarians versus those who've actually thought about it, don't support animal cruelty, etc.

I always find meat vs. non-meat arguments entertaining....

Time to go cook her up some meatless bbq ribs while I eat some roasted chicken, hehe

oops---double post

Stupid ad but it shouldn't be banned.

Fascinating documentary about our food supply...
btw, it's not a vegan/vegetarian propaganda piece, the filmmakers are meat eaters as well...however, it could breed more veg-heads, hehe

it's always important to know where your food comes from...

Fuck Peta and their propaganda.. I'm gonna stuff my fucking face with turkey

[alias]

I feel like turkey tonight.

I agree, for our own safety I wish the conditions were better as it could cause some heath risks for us. Like most corporations they trying to make max profit so they cut corners, do just enough if, if that, to not get shut down. The shit that ends up around meat and mixed in some cases is why I eat my steaks at least medium and everything else well done. Would be nice if they could do without the chemicals, roids, and the other crap that ends up in us, but like you said our thoughts are totally different than petas... on why some of this should be changed.

I miss the old days where if someone showed up at the BBQ and said, "Hi! I'm Vegan!" we'd kick their ass.

Now we have 'tofurkey' and 'meatless ribs' - I mean come on, a meatless rib is just a fucking bone.

Weirdos.

[Iron Fist]

Maybe i'll kick PETA around like a ball because I think it's funny...
