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.

32.

PETA is using a tragedy to gain attention for their cause. They don't care what they have to do or who they have to do it to. They have become increasingly violent as a movement and their perpetual "shock" advertising is crude in the extreme.

They physically attack people, hurl obscenities meant to debase and abuse those that they do not agree with. People who are anti-firearm don't generally run around shooting people to prove their point, although some anti-abortion militants do bomb abortion clinics and murder women, children, doctors and nurses to prove theirs.

PETA is hiding behind a playcard that says "suffer not the animals" while attempting to hide their true militant selves. Pah. I have no use for them.

33. to tmz has no class:

I also live an hour from where this happens, and yes he was eaten. The RCMP tapes were on You tube and in court last week they said he was. Maybe you should get your facts straight.

34. Exploiting a tragic event is just their style. They have no respect for HUMAN life....twisted and perverted. That's PETA for you.

36. I admit that PETA is generally way out of line, as they have exhibited here, but they make a point. We DO do the same thing to animals and not think twice about it. How sad. I think what is even sadder is that people justify it with ignorant statments like "flesh is good". Well, I guess the man on the bus thought the same thing. My heart goes out to the family who lost their son but please remember that meat eaters support the same behavior every time they eat another living things flesh.

37. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba where all of this is going on. It's absolutely disgusting what PETA is doing to try and leverage such a horrific tragedy.

38. I can't stand PETA! There are REAL LIVING BREATHING HUMANS BEING MURDERED DAY IN DAY OUT! Yet all they worry about is a dirty little chicken!!! Look I'm all for protecting animals(certain ones, I could give a hoot about a chicken) but that is horrible that murdered mans family for them to be comparing his murder to a animals. Why isn't PETA concerned with places were PEOPLE are being violently murdered? That why I don't respect them and their idiocy! And funny how PETA doesn't talk about the thousands of animals they have murdered! Yeah Google it!

43. PETA has lost it... There are limits to which ethically we should abide by as a society and those limits were crossed. I am all for animal rights but i think that there are ways to go about getting the message out there and taking advantage of a family's tradgedy is not it. As for the comment in the number 10 post, maybe they should check their facts. As someone who lives in the area as well as reads the paper, they should know that parts of the victim WERE eaten. That; however, does not give the right to ANY organization to use this situation for their own gain. This 22 year old BOY has a family, and I know that if this was my son/brother/friend that this is the LAST thing that I would have wanted this tragedy to result in. PETA, i hope that you realize that with this ad, you are showing that as much as you value the rights of animals, you obviously do not alot those same standards to HUMAN rights. SHOW SOME RESPECT PETA

44. Peta you people are sick I was a supporter before but this is over the line. A young innocent man was killed and with everything already in the media for this pour man's family to hear and see while mourning do you really think this is nessesary your just as bad as the Church group that is set to protest his funeral. I can only hope that you and them can see there error of your ways and make an apology to the victims family showing the compassion you encourage others to show animals.

45. I for one am a supporter of PETA no matter what they do. Yes, someone was murdered, but PETA is saying that this happens to animals every day. There's a reason why slaughterhouses don't have windows. The people one here saying "i love animals" probably just love dogs and cats. And to the moron who called PETA a terrosits organization, you truly have your head up your ass.
