All Animals Are Equal So Why Is Charles Taylor Any Different?

So, there’s a new PETA ad coming out that points out the similarities between eating human and animal flesh. This is in response to former Liberian President Charles Taylor’s trial. Former President Taylor is alleged to have cannibalised his enemies, peacekeepers and U.N. Personnel by the International War Crimes Tribunal – the ad is meant for making people think about exactly who they are guilty of eating:
“Their struggles and cries were ignored”, reads the ad. “They were dragged to the knife … their bodies were mutilated and their throats were slit … they were decapitated, dismembered and carved up … their corpses were put in a pot seasoned with salt and pepper … and their heads and bones were discarded. It’s still going on!”
Call me a cynic – but that sounds like every day for millions of animals languishing in factory farms worldwide to me!
PETA’s Managing Director Ingrid Newkirk spoke out “When it comes to the terror and suffering of being killed to be eaten, all animals – including the human animal – are equal, in the 21st century, there is no excuse for not going vegetarian.”
silly stupid race.. why can’t they bet on silly humans galloping around a silly track and spare the poor horses (one who suffered a horrible fall on this year’s race and subsequently had to be put down ) ??
ps. I have no sympathy for those jockeys when they fall.. they shouldn’thave been forcing those poor horses to go charging and galloping around a silly pointless track and leaping numerous high steeples in the first place with teh burden of a jockey on its back….
why dont’ they run a silly race and just bet on themselves?
