Humans are also consumed by some on a regular basis, but of course this number is not anywhere close to that of animals. But don't worry about the animals, as they know how their lives are going to end before coming to being.
Do you mean euthanasia and the like?
Thank you Makhno for posting the picture because I could not exactly from the first post figure out what was going on. Who is the girl in the poster? Was she actually killed or is she simply a model for the poster?
Of course one can argue that if it were the first case, then those directly concerned can express themselves if they want, but it's really none of the rest of people's business, no? If they start a boycott or let their emotions control them or whatever, I certainly won't be one to join them. It's irrelevant whether or not I agree to the issue at hand; if I don't like the billboard or print ads, I will simply avoid them and won't force myself to look at them and then complain that they make me uncomfortable. It's funny because one always a choice in NOT doing anything one doesn't like.
If the girl in the picture only posed for the photograph, what is then the big deal? Even in the CTV news segment posted above, phrases such as "... that appear to exploit..." and "interpreted as a reference to...," are used because they are not exactly objective statements, but rather subjective opinions of certain people.
I do think, however, that PETA made an error in that the poster girl is pouting whereas the pig is smiling (?). To positively promote vegetarianism, shouldn't the pig be pouting as well?
Or are pigs just happy to be raised on vegetarian diet?By the same analogy, wouldn't that mean the girl is not happy at all being a piece of meat? And that sounds good to me
