PETA TO ‘BARBECUE’ A ‘HUMAN CORPSE’ TO SHOW THAT MEAT IS MURDER

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.

Gawd, what idiots. You don't grill long pig, you smoke it.

Now, that's an oxymoron.

If animals weren't made of highly nutritious meat, we wouldn't eat them.

And if we weren't also made of meat, animals wouldn't enjoy eating us so much in turn.

[BlessedBeGod]

Gee, if they really want to get through to people, why not barbecue the real thing? I'm not impressed by an effigy of a cowboy. < /sarcasm >

[nckerr]

Franks rump roast... Sounds good to me

[Ol' Sox]

Stupid PETA.

Everybody knows you have to put the sauce on just before the meat is finished, otherwise the sugars will burn.

[Rastus]

They have the mentality of a 5-year-old.

One of my favorite sayings:

"If God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them taste like meat."

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

LOL! If there is any sanity left in Topeka (big IF!), this will totally backfire.

[Gay State Conservative]

And for an encore will they call for the murder of medical researchers who work with animals like a California physician did a few months ago on 60 Minutes?

Tell tat to the stooges in the PETA building in Norfolk VA who ordered 40 pizzas with pepperoni and sausage. Lousy bunch of left wing Moon-bat hypocrites

[Tijeras_Slim]

Feed the multitudes.

[Woodstock]

Humans, the other white meat.

[b4its2late]

I bet they're all democrats!

[Ol' Sox]

...who ordered 40 pizzas with pepperoni and sausage...

oh the humanity! Those poor exploited little pepperonis.

Talking to your plants will make them grow better. In other words, plants have feelings too. Don't walk on the grass and don't eat the daisies.
