PETA: Beheaded Man Tastes Just Like Chicken

PETAOnly PETA can turn a human beheading -- and act of cannibalism -- into an animal rights issue.

A local paper in Manitoba, Canada -- where a Greyhound bus passenger was recently killed, beheaded and eaten -- has decided not to run an advertisement from PETA that equates that murder to the slaughter of animals.

PETA wrote on their blog, "While it isn't every day that a human is violently attacked and eaten by another human, it's worth noting that it is the norm for many people not to give any thought to the fact that restaurants are serving flesh that comes from innocents who were minding their own business before someone came after them with a knife."

Yeah, but steak tastes gooooood.

213. Why is everyone against PETA? Isn't PETA an acronym for People Eating Tasty Meats?

215. That PETA would seek to exploit the horrific murder of a young man to serve a media campaign, really shows a lack of empathy for the suffering of fellow human beings. Are they really in a position to defend the rights of animals then? If it were their own innocent child who was slaughtered would they equate their little girl or boy to the inhumane way food is killed? They have demonstrated a cruelty unique to themselves and should apologize for even considering such an obscene ad so soon after the death of this poor boy. Mother nature is pretty cruel too PETA. Find a balance or your message is clear to the world. Human life doesn't matter next to the "cause". Even a chicken would think this extreme.

216. PETA people need to get a life.....................a normal life. The garbage they come up with to defend animals. For God's sake, a young man died and they want to get mileage out of this? They are as bad as the radical anti-abortionists that say killing an innocent baby is wrong...............and then one of their more radical members goes and kills an abortion doctor.

When are people going to wake up? We are losing our rights, losing our humanity. Forget helping the people of Iraq if we can't help our own people here (from some of the comments I've read on these sites, we could use some helping)!

GET A LIFE..............YOUR OWN!!!

217. Hey TMZ, every once in a while you do something good, I am so glad you ran this story. PETA is a bunch of passive-aggressive, pysociopathic domestic terrorists who think they know everything but actually know nothing. Look this up, PETA tried to have some of the pitbulls from the MIchael Vicks case destroyed even though they were being rehabilitated by experts with no intention of letting them go until they could be deemed safe. These people know what they're doing but PETA didn't think the dogs should have any sort of chance because they felt the dogs were "hopeless". Never mind that the people working with them will never put anyone else in danger by letting them go prematurely, no PETA just has to stick their nose into everything. Unfortunately they manage to attract well-meaning animal-loving celebrities who are attracted to the message of animal rights without realizing just how harmful this group actually is to animals. Have you ever heard any of their spokespeople or seen them in interviews? What a bunch of freaking morons!!

218. Yeah I forgot, poster number # 10 is right, there was no cannibalism which was even more reason for PETA to be shot and pissed on for their sick twisted idea.

TMZ, Please edit your post, no cannibalism was involved. It was just this horrifying random act of violence when someone snapped and beheaded someone else on a Greyhound bus.

219. PETA are such a bunch of pantie waists... How courageous, to demean a dead man and his family, not to mention humankind. I ride a bike, and very much enjoy having on my leathers, when it's cold out. But I have yet to see any PETA dorks show up at a biker rally, and start throwing paint. I wish they would, as I'd like to add slapping a PETA member until they were cross-eyed, to my resume'. PETA, do yourselves a favor, and stay very well hidden.

220. Too bad everyone who was offended by this ad is a hypocrite. Suffering, fear and pain is universal, no matter what. So, if you want to justify your consuming meat that was raised in a factory farm or protecting a woman's fur coat, it's just a cop out. Read up on the conditions at factory farms, the atrocities of the fur industry and see if you feel good about eating a living, feeling being that died in those situations. Would you cruelly confine, slaughter, and eat your pet? A pig, for example, has been proven to be more intelligent than a dog. Look it up. The atrocities towards humans, and don't get me wrong, are horrible as well. All suffering is horrible. Don't just justify it when it comes to convenience to you. Everything PETA said was true. It's just that certain people take offense to radical ads/demonstrations that make them uncomfortable. That was the objective, people. It caught your attention. Just like in the '50s and '60s when Dr. MLK Jr. was making people uncomfortable. It made a huge impact, and he got killed. So if you want to comment here, I would think twice before making an ass out of yourselves. Education rules!

221. Oy vay (or is it vey?), PETA folks are scary freaks.

222. Yeah, Jamie, you're right. It caught our attention all right. Before this, I thought PETA might be a little radical, but I never thought they would exploit the horrible death of a young man with an ad this atrocious. Think about his family, for God's sake! Until this, I actually supported some of their causes. I don't give a da#@ if they throw red paint on come stinking celebrity wearing fur - I actually agree - we don't need fur to survive these days - that's just ridiculous, and those animals die horrible deaths. However, people eating animals for food (many have no other choice) and the beheading and (possible) cannibalism of this young man have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. Now, I have zero respect for PETA, and I hope they get red pain thrown on them for the blood on THEIR hands because of the way they have exploited this young man's death. PETA can go to hell, and Yes, Thanks! for bringing what lunatic, shamless shi&heads they are to our attention!!!!!!!!!!

223. 215/valentine....I too am a biker, for 30 years, and I would LOVE to see PETA show up to a 1%er event protesting leather , they dont have the balls to do such a thing, Even just a regular biker event, not a 1%er, who would beat the living crap out of them then maybe chew on an arm....I said earlier before I was bashed for agreeing with someone....Animals dont have rights, People have rights, people have the ability to think...animals DONT.....next time you peta people are in the woods and a grizzly wants to attack and eat you, lets talk at your level of thinking...well Mr. Grizzly I love your fur and I think you have the right to dismember me and eat me.....remember now....Peta believes animals have rights, so when that grizzly attacks and eats any person....that grizzly had a right to do that...you invaded his territory now...hmmmmmm I would LOVE to see that conversation with a peta member before that lion or bear protecting its cubs....well honestly....there would NOT be any conversation because they are ANIMALS for GOD sake.......they cant communicate, dont know the difference between right and wrong, eating a human or a rodent, (comparing a Peta extremist to a rodent here) Here I am a sane, common sense person, having to explain a situation which shouldnt of been debated on in the first place....for the record, Peta hasnt replied to any of my request for information to WHY this was done....has anyone else that wrote them got a reply yet?????betcha your not gonna get one, or if you do they will claim they had nothing to do with it...which is the spin I always get when I ask them for answers.....it wasnt us....we dont do terrorist activities....Bull****
