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

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.

True. Vegetarians are dry, stringy and gamy.

I also suspect that they are going to have a sitdown with the local bird-of-prey population about eating meat.

Actually, hummingbirds are the only birds that don't eat any meat.

I always wonder if the people who are pro abortion because (they say) it's just a fetus, not a person, would be good to go with late term "abortions" on cows about to give birth and using the flesh of the "non animal" fetus for BBQ?

Does that mean veal is kosher to them?

Throw them to the hungry tigers, that they may inspect the Circle of Life from inside it.

SICK! They equate animals with humans.

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.

Would just love to check these people out...for things like leather shoes and/or briefcases. Of course, that barbecue will pollute the atmosphere....along with the cars they used to get there. Some people just don't have a lot to do!!

TO PETA.......MYOB!!!!

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.

So how does he know this?

That makes sense, now that I think of it.

I'm not much of an ornithologist.

They oppose God's decision.

Genesis 9:1-7 1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. 4 "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.

I'm not impressed by by the effigy of a cowboy.

Me neither. Now if some PETA member wants to step up to the plate (So to speak) and take that cowboy's place over a real BBQ fire I would be mighty impressed.

But not hungry enough.

Without skin, it's hard to tell the difference. My mom was creeped out by a skinned bear hanging in our garage. Without fur, they have the same elbows, knees and basic conformation as a man.

Save the drippin's!

There'd be enough tallow on that one to make enough soap to have the multitudes wash up afterward.
