Thanksgiving Ad Asks Kids: Would You Eat Your Dog?

A new Thanksgiving ad campaign targeted toward children in schools is barking up a storm this holiday season.

In a news release, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced this week that its new outdoor billboard advertising campaign will focus around a central message: "How would children feel if Fido and Fluffy were stuffed and roasted for Thanksgiving?"

The ads feature the head of a Jack Russell terrier on the body of a turkey, and reads, "Kids: If You Wouldn't Eat Your Dog, Why Eat a Turkey?"

The group said the billboards are going up near schools in Oklahoma, Oregon, Florida, New Mexico, Utah and Tennessee.

"Kids love animals, and if they thought about how turkeys feel pain and fear just as dogs and cats do, they'd trade in their drumsticks for Tofurky in a heartbeat," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said. "This Thanksgiving, families can give all animals something to be thankful for by sticking to humane, delicious vegan meals."

If God wanted us to be Vegans why did he make all the animals out of meat?

This Thanksgiving, families can give all animals something to be thankful for by sticking to humane, delicious vegan meals.

First, aren't there places in Asia where dogs and cats are on the menu? Second, if He didn't want us to eat meat, why did He create us requiring large amount of protein and why did He make meat (a high protein source) taste so good?

Shocking... you are being GOD into this. Peta members never READ the BIBLE where God told Adam the LIVESTOCK were to be eaten!!

And the kid, the family dog and a turkey took a vote. The turkey lost. But fear not! A turkey died that a puppy may live.

Jack Russells aren’t worth the trouble- too tough and stringy, they taste like cabrito. Now young Chows, on the other hand, are great.

Because it isn't "My Turkey"?

They didn't eat Wilbur either, because he was "Some Pig". Fine swine, wish he were mine.

The turkey? That sucker is going down.

But it’s what they’re full of that you wouldn’t want to eat!

“Tofurky.” How ironic that PeTA’s recommendation to us, should contain our message to them.

Thanksgiving Ad Asks Kids: Would You Eat Your Dog?

If a dog tasted as good and was as stupid and useless for anything else as a turkey, it would long ago have become standard dinner fare and never have become a pet or work animal.
