PETA TO ‘BARBECUE’ A ‘HUMAN CORPSE’ TO SHOW THAT MEAT IS MURDER
PETA Media Center ^ | June 6, 2006 | Mike Brazell

Posted on 06/06/2006 9:44:22 AM PDT by presidio9

Topeka, Kan. — Hoping to prompt Topeka’s lunch crowd into realizing that whether fish, foul—or even Frank!—a corpse is a corpse, PETA will slather a 10-gallon-hat-wearing effigy of a cowboy with barbecue sauce and pretend to cook "him" on a mock grill downtown tomorrow. PETA’s point? That all animals are made of flesh, bone, and blood, just as humans are, and that eating meat entails eating the corpse of an animal who was an individual with feelings, a family, and a distinct personality. In addition to the "human barbecue," activists will hold signs that read, "Meat Is Murder," and give out delicious vegetarian riblet sandwiches to curious passersby:

Date: Wednesday, June 7 Time: 12 noon-1 p.m. Place: Corner of S.W. Eighth and S. Kansas avenues

"People are understandably revolted by the idea of eating a human corpse, which is exactly why they should also lose their appetites at the thought of eating an animal corpse—to smell them cooking, you can’t tell the difference," says PETA Campaign Coordinator Mike Brazell.

Well, they obviously do not know scripture. That passage has to do with the blood, not the meat.

Hmm, I thought "GoVeg.com" was a web site that advocated sitting on the couch, watching TV and eating Cool Ranch flavor Doritos.

When I was working at Whole Foods, someone bought a whole leg of something, whatever this meat was. I thought it looked like a human leg.

But for the health concious cannibal, check out Hufu - The healthy human flesh alternative.

It's pretty hard to find bone-in aren't they? Other than on the web site pictures, or so I hear. I wouldn't know anything about that.

Where's Elmer McCurdy when you need him? He's probably aged to perfection by now.

In December 1976 a Universal Studios camera crew arrived at the Nu-Pike Amusement Park in Long Beach, California, to film an episode of the television action show, the Six Million Dollar Man. In preparing the set in a corner of the funhouse, a worker moved the "hanging man," causing one of this prop's arms to come off. Inside it was human bone. This was no mere prop; this was a dead guy!

The body was that of Elmer McCurdy, a young man who in 1911 robbed a train of $46 and two jugs of whiskey in Oklahoma. He announced to the posse in pursuit of him that he would not be taken alive. He was proved right -- they killed him in the ensuing shoot-out.

Show up and protest their protest. "Spinach and soybeans scream when you eat them."

Anyone remember the LA billboards for some health club, "When the aliens come, they're going to eat the fat humans first."???

"They equate animals with humans."


We are animals.

We're just not very tasty, or so I've heard.
