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.

16. The man that was brutally murdered on the Greyhound bus was in fact beheaded. He was not eaten. Please check your facts. This was a tragedy and to exagerate the facts is not called for...

17. PETA people are insane! When they do their stupid "I would rather go nude than wear fur" posters it's mildly ammusing, but these are the same people who will throw blood on women for wearing a fur coat and worse. After reading their insulting advertisment I feel like goign out a clubbing a baby seal just to spite them. Seeing as how we have no baby seals in Chicago, all I can do is eat at KFC today. I'm getting the extra chrispy.

18. I'm Canadian and all of Canada is agast at what happened to this loving 22 year old. A Chinese immigrant (who is now asking to be killed!) is responsible for this tradegy. He was stabbed over times.

I'm shocked that TMZ is even covering this type of news. Anything gruesome, I guess, TMZ loves.

PETA should be ashamed of themselves. I'm an animal lover but, I cannot compare what happened to this young man with eating meat.

I'm feeling sick....

22. #10- actually yes, the murderer cut off parts of the victim's body and ate them amongst some other gruesome acts.

I'm very disappointed PETA even considered that ad. I'm all for animal rights, have been a vegetarian for 11 years but that just crosses the line. That kind of ad would persuade anyone to join their cause, it only makes them look like callous, nutjobs and further damages their intended message.

TMZ, you're headline for this article is pretty disgusting too.

23. The difference is people kill animals to eat because they are hungry or they want to feed their families; just as a lion takes down another jungle animal or a polar bear kills a seal. A man who stabs another man 70 times and cuts off his victim's head and then walks around a Greyhound bus waving it in front of the other passengers hiding outside does such an act because he is mentally ill and deranged.

Preach the good stuff PETA and encourage others to become vegetarian, but do no equate a mentally-ill murderer with a good person who is hungry. We all get hungry and we all have the right to feed ourselves and others.

The ‘save a whale; abort a baby’ crowd needs to chill out. Free to be you and me.

25. Yes he was stabbed, beheaded, gutted and there was cannibalism involved. And it was a random act. The victim did NOTHING to provoke it (he was asleep). My hear goes out to his family and friends.
PETA should be ashamed of themselves.

26. Oh... one more comment. TMZ, you and yours are asses! This murder victim up in Canada was a much loved 22 year old young man who was murdered and it's such a headline-grabing joke to the editors.
You owe his family and us an apology.

28. The man was WHITE and 22... he was texting his girlfriend right before it happened. The crazy man is a 40something year old chinese man who is FREAKY looking. There is nothing in his eyes. And he was NOT eaten. Read all the online articles and nothing was EVER said about being eaten.
