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.

47. I LOVE ANIMALS . i DON'T CARE MUCH FOR SOME STRANGER IN SOME BUS. SORRY

48. I HATE PETA. Seriously. These people need to get their priorities straight. 16 000 children under the age of 5 will die by midnight tonight of starvation. When that LAST CHILD makes it through the night, THEN you can start worrying about the animals. I missed the memo that gave us a good reason to equate the life of a chicken to that of a human being.


There's a supposedly leaked police tape which records someone saying "He's at the back of the bus hacking off pieces and eating it." I'm Canadian and didn't hear about this until now. It's been on the front page of the paper since it happened. I don't know if their sources on the cannibalism are accurate, though. But frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he had.

51. #36 chantel. actually if you read online, he was a sleep and the murder did eat some of the flesh. if you did a search, you can actually find a recording of the cops radio conversation and does state on that there was some flesh that was eaten.
But PETA this is a low blow. I don't think they are going to get more member for this stunt. I think they are going to lose members and I am one of them.

52. You know...how much sicker can PETA get?
This was a young man with a bright future that was taken away for violently!
This has shocked many around the world and for PETA to use a "chicken" as a victim makes me sick to my stomach!

To # 37 Dave

Terrorists use violence to achieve their goals. They spew hatred and attempt to instill fear and loathing of their targets.

That's my opinion. You are welcome to yours. Don't worry, I won't take out an add against you, try to rip the skin from your back or throw something vile on your person.

55. The victim was not eaten, and the attacker was a mentally ill individual. That whole advertisement and reporting on it is in very poor taste!!

57. First of all, later articles quote police as saying that AFTER the man was beheaded, police officers witnessed him cutting off pieces of the man's flesh and chewing on them. So, while he was beheaded, the killer DID in fact eat pieces of his flesh as well. Second, this is as bad as when PETA did a campaign comparing the plight of cows in slaughterhouses to pictures of slaves and concentration camp victims. If the members of PETA have such little respect for the human race, maybe they should sell all of their earthly possessions and move to a cow pasture. They can graze and fart alongside those who matter to them the most.

58. Obviously you didn't read all the online articles because YES, it has come out that the police who responded did see the guy eating pieces of the victim and they then found his nose, lips, and ear in the killer's pocket. Good grief people, THAT'S what you feel the need to argue about on this topic? Go read a current article on it then message on that board, this is about PETA being disgusting.

59. PETA gives the world diarrhea! Leave Mr. McLean and his family alone!

60. Yes, the RCMP, in a transmission leaked on YouTube, stated that the perpetrator was engaging in cannibalsim immediately after the beheading. It's been all over the Canadian news. Congrats, PETA, on sending people out to buy steaks and KFC just out of spite.
P.S. Doesn't Pam Anderson realize that her breast implants had to have been tested on animals? Duh!
