This ad was never going to be on TV, they knew that. They made it so that it could get rejected and they could call it "banned" - and therefore get press for it. Pretty sneaky sis.

greatest post so far, mate.

whoa four of you commenters are responsible for about half the posts so far....pens out of ink? day out of sunshine?

See link of eating Turkeys. Nothing gross.

Regardless of my thoughts on PETA, isn't it a little late to be airing that ad?

If your point is to stop people from killing and eating Thanksgiving turkeys, fine, but airing the ad on Thanksgiving morning defeats the purpose. I'd guess that most people already have their turkey in the oven at that point.

i love meat. i think peta sucks. however, this is the epitomy of the brilliance of a political system with free speech. should we all stop eating meat? hell no not a chance. but we should all be respectful of animals and aware that there are scumbags out there that get their kicks by abusing helpless critters. peta may be filled with a bunch of self righteous lunatics, but their main point is one that we must all remember.

that made me hungry. i'm going to get a bacon cheeseburger

hey,

why don't you scroll up and read valeriob's 1st comment and you'll see who called who ignorant first. maybe you'll also see that s/he is the one who is ignorant. oh, and fuck you.

lol, nice to see a gamut from the ignorant to the progressive thinkers (vegans) on gothamist. how can we get the non-veggies back onto foxnews.com?

How obnoxious to think that vegans are progressive thinkers just because of their diet. That's why most people, including myself, would opt to eat only vegans if that would make them feel better about our obvious heritage as omnivores.

Again a Flesh-eating diet contributes to global climate crises (land and water shortages), contributes to the cruelty and suffering of million and million of innocent species, contributes to poverty levels and contributes to war and to violence. Learn and understand how each individual has the control to end so much of his/her and others suffering. Peace begins on your plate.

Would you care for a little cheese with that whine?

Oh, sorry, cheese comes from an animal as well.

So now that you learn where cheese comes from, do you know how it comes out? It blood and pus?

felixthecat2, I think you are super and I would marry you in a heartbeat, but you are wrong about PETA. I used to work for them, so I know of what I speak. Ingrid Newkirk is a douchebag on a power trip...she would rather kill the cats and dogs than try to find homes because she thinks all humans are rotten to the core. She is partially correct about humans, but her position on companion animals is hypocritical. PETA puts a spin on their "euthanasia" statistics. They also kill perfectly adoptable animals--lots of them--not just those who are suffering irremediably. Although PETA has helped bring animal rights a great deal of publicity, their stupid campaigns trivialize animal exploitation and suffering, just making it easier for people to dismiss AR as a joke.

Niloo: my main problem with PETA is exactly what you stated.

They basically hate people. I observed that fact years ago when I knew a few of them personally. Even you and Felix have agreed to a degree with their misanthropy.

PETA, ALF and extreme AR folks hate humans and transfer the love emotion instead to animals.

That is what is perverse about those groups. To say that one species is rotten and no others are is simply silly

Nothing personal, just saying what I have observed and it has never failed to be true.

Try loving thy neighbor. You'll like it. If not, better extract your canine teeth as a form of protest of your human condition.

Again, caring for animals doesn't mean you hate humans. If fact those that abuse animals also abuse humans. There are no degrees of compassion. Either you are compassionate or you're aren't
