A controversial new public relations campaign by animal-rights group PETA proclaims Jesus Christ to have been a vegetarian, and portrays the Last Supper – complete with 12 "disciples" including Beatle Paul McCartney and lesbian country-music singer k.d. lang – as a spectacle meant to inspire mankind to forsake eating meat.
The outreach has been built into a 28-foot 1955 Silver Streak Airstream trailer wherein the "Last Supper" is re-created, surrounding Jesus with famous vegetarians, officials of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals told WND.
Dallas artist Greg Metz's work first was displayed in his hometown, then in Columbia, S.C., and now is headed for Norfolk, Va., according to campaign coordinator Mike Brazell.
"From all the demonstrations, this one has been the most successful in getting people to go vegetarian," he told WND. "People are visibly moved by the display itself."
"I've had people telling me they're going to be re-evaluating their food choices and lives after seeing the display," he said.
The organization's "PETA Girl," whose antics over the years have included appearing naked with a sign that she'd rather be nude that wear fur, for this event was Eva Carpinelli from Milano, Italy.
The vegetarian "disciples" represented in the "Last Supper" include the famed Louisa May Alcott, Kafka, George Bernard Shaw, Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony, Jesus, Alec Walker, Paul McCartney, k.d. lang, Gandhi, Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci, officials said.
On the other side of the trailer are graphic images of animal slaughterhouses, and available at the trailer will be screenings of PETA's movie, "Meet Your Meat," narrated by Alec Baldwin.

Ah...understanding dawns!
No? Okay.
Lambs-quarters are a pot herb that mainly grows wild, which matches Ismael's ('Father of the Arabs) temperament. (Gen 16:12 [KJV] And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him...)
(Gee, somehow, that seems prophetic!)
The caramel is naturally Dromedary, from the same people who sell dates, baking products, cake mixes, and desert mixes.
Bravo Zulu....!!!
""People are visibly moved by the display itself.""
Yeah...I for one wanted to PUKE when I read about it....!!!
NIV Acts 10:9-15
9. About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
10. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air.
13. Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."
14. "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."
15. The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
OH?
Tell that to an Elephant or a Rhino or a Hippo!
Amen!
You know this HOW?
Deesert? DEESERT???
We don't need no steeking DEESerT!!!
Luke 23: 34
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
In change for a Five.
I saw Baldwin narrating a program on the evolution of man during which he at one point said that when man started eating meat protein that that was the start of the human brain's real advancement, that meat was brain food.
I guess I have to conclude that Baldwin will read any script that he's paid to.
John 6
52 The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 5
"Deesert? DEESERT???
We don't need no steeking DEESerT!!!"
....STEEking....???
When do they launch the "Hitler was a vegetarian campaign"?
That would be a true and factual one if PETA did it.
Eloquently stated.
I think PETA should look into what they did when people entered into convenants (promises made to one another). God made a convenant with many in the old testament and then through Jesus in the New Testament.
They slaughtered an animal and put 1/2 on one side and the other across from that, with blood in between, then the 2 parties entering into convenant walked through the blood together, to seal their covenant (promise).
I'm sure the people of PETA never heard about this, nor know anything about Covenants.
