Would you have objected to a billboard campaign in Germany during WWII showing photos of bulldozers plowing piles of corpses?

The question is not relevent as those were corpses of former persons.

I would object to billboards showing graphical display of the slaughter of dinner table animals. My objection would be that the billboards were pure sensationism as are those trucks.

BTW: While I do object, I also support their right under the First Ammendment to display this obscene material.

The Nazis regarded the Jews as subhuman too.

Interesting that you would compare the "slaughter of dinner table animals" to whatever it is that is on the side of the trucks. Since you believe that what is on the side of the trucks is neither human nor animal, why do you object?

I suppose it would be sensationalism to a degree - but it is a funny thing to say - it always amuses me that people can be put off their dinner by scenes on the 6 o'clock news of a slaughterhouse.

When you think about it, it should be quite normal that people should not be offended by seeing where meat comes from, when people all over the world tuck into a meat dinner a few hours or days after they killed the animal themselves. A lot people have become quite out of touch with the reality of killing.
