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.

61. I find this story disgusiting. It is appauling for Peta to go down this path and it is equally disgusing for TMZ to advertise it. Perhaps both Peta and TMZ should get their facts straight before they try to capitalize on this tragedy. Peta and TMZ have really diminished their brand.

63. I am absolutely disgusted that both TMZ and PETA would even take something so awful and make a joke out of it. TIM MCLEAN does not deserve to be disrespected in such a manner. He was a young man who didn't deserve what happened to him......and suggesting that he was eaten after that horrible incident is beyond disrespectful.

64. #38 you are a dumb ass! I can't stand people like you(most likely white right)? Who could care less about tons of people dying yet will save a animal first.

65. I find this absolutely disgusting. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba which is only 2 hours from where this tragedy occured & I also have met a few times the sister of Tim Mclean (the victim) before this horrific incident occured. PETA is about the ethical treatment of animals?! What about the ethical treatment of human beings?! I've grown up as a partial vegetarian & I am all about animals equal rights...but this is not the way to go about it. PETA should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for this volatile act of human indecency. Do they have any remorse what so ever for the family that has to re-live this incident everyday in the media?! What about the people who are traumatized from seeing this scene first hand...what about TIM MCLEAN! I wonder if this had happened to a relative of someone who worked at PETA would this advertisement had run? I DON'T THINK SO. This is a tragedy that an entire country is mourning over...we might not have known Tim Mclean...but as a country we come together to mourn tragedy & rebuild. PETA should be disgusted by who they are...they may stand for a cause but they are not compassionate in anyway.

73. Who would even appreciate that ad, other than the core group of quasi-militant animal rights activists? Everyone thinks the bus beheading was a terrible tragedy. Who are they winning over with that ad? It's such an intensely horrible idea, that it almost seems like a prank by someone else to make PETA look bad.

74. Where's ASHTON?????

75. PETA fools - unknowing victims of the anthropomorphism initiated by Disney and perpetuated by Hollywood for generations. It seems that many in our society have forgotten the reality of the animal kingdom and our role in it. And ads such as this that equate murder with normal omnivorous consumption exemplify this madness.
