After a crash involving a truck carrying turkeys, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Iowa to approve a memorial to the birds.
PETA asked for the memorial to honor turkeys that died when a truck crashed April 12, 2014 in Sioux City, Iowa. The truck hit ten parked cars, and then tipped over, according to the Sioux City Journal.
PETA claims more than 500 turkeys perished in the crash.
The proposed memorial features an image of a turkey and reads, “In memory of the hundreds of terrified turkeys who died here in a truck crash April 12, 2014. Try vegan.”

They should do this. Parts of the Midwest really could do with more humor.

If animals aren’t supposed to be eaten, why are they made out of meat?

If their lives hadn’t been tragically cut short by this wreck, they would have lived to become...dinner for a lot of people.

If PETA could have resisted sounding like sarcastic, fussy blamemakers, they probably could have gotten what they want, the Towering Turkey Monument. PETA still may get it, but when they use slanted phrases like “Terrified Turkeys” or start evangelizing for their Vegan lifestyles unrequested, people are far less likely to help them out. A huge, realistic Turkey statue would be nice, but to read some plaque at the bottom of the statue calling us horrible stupid neanderthals for continuing to defy their meat free utopian ideals would e tedious and imposing, not so nice.

I was wondering what PETA has been up to since they don't have their favorite POTUS
in office anymore. They made So much money off donations from bashing Bush.
