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.

"In this case, they're right in the similarity. We are made of the same thing.
I don't think that would come as a shock to any other predator. That's the only way we're different... An inflated ego."
You speak for yourself.
I am not an animal.
Liberals are not logical or consistent.
Your proud insistence of such merely makes you funnier.
I wonder if these idiots would find a partial-birth abortion as objectionable as they would an omelette made from (gasp) real bird eggs.
Me: I am not an animal.
You: Your proud insistence of such merely makes you funnier.
Me: Who'd have thought a human being would argue that they are really an ANIMAL? Be smug about it as well!
Hey, be the animal you wish to be. I won't lose sleep over it. Be a dog. Be a rat. Who cares!
I think hummingbords eat worms, too - the babies do, for sure.
Talk about a blood-letting.
The reason he is a vegetarian is that he is a retired Doctor of Veteranary Medicine and is well informed about the antibiotics and hormones that our meat (particularly beef) get so as to get big and fat fast and not get sick before they are sent to market. He thinks that if he eats these meats he is ingesting these drugs which would be less than beneficial to his long term health.
I don't know if I buy his rationale, but I certainly won't debate it with him. Furthermore he doesn't care whether I eat meat or not.
But if you get stuck on Donner Pass with him (he actually lives nearby), I wouldn't recommend trying to eat him.
Here I thought they really were going to show what total idiots they are!
We were in Atlanta on Saturday night and took my 9yr old to a BBQ and blues place, he loves ribs. He is sitting across the table from me and is inhaling a 1/2 rack of ribs. Sauce from ear to ear and all over his hands. He looks up at me and asks where do these ribs come from? I told him a pig. He looks at me all wide eyed and says "A pig?" I told him yep a pig. He says "Dang, these ribs are awesome, I love pig!"
I remember when I was stationed at Ft. Riley, there was a billboard that said "One Kansas Farmer feeds over 100 people." I always thought the portions would have to be kind of small, but hey, maybe I was wrong....
Yours etc.

Really. If they feel so strongly to require a Human BBQ, certainly they can find a volunteer to step forward and get spitted. . . .
Long Pig for dinner ! Now all we need are some Fava Beans, and a nice chianti. . . .
HEY! Cannibalism is perfectly ok as long as the eater and the eatee are consenting adults. /liberal-tarian
Now you're just being silly... They aren't even in the same ~genus~ we are.
Watch out for cavemen.
I find that hard to swallow.
