PETA Thanksgiving billboard asks kids: Would you eat your dog?  Published November 10, 2012
FoxNews.com     
 
  • PETA.org
A billboard that will be placed outside Nevada public schools is sure to make for interesting Thanksgiving dinner conversation, that is, if kids let the turkey make it to the table.
PETA plans to place a billboard that reads, "KIDS: If you wouldn't eat your dog, why eat a turkey? Go vegan," with a picture of a dog head on a turkey body, near Reno public schools.
Similar ads will be run outside public schools in California, and were placed in Canada in September.
 
"Kids love animals, and if they thought about how turkeys feel pain and fear just as dogs and cats do, they want to switch out those drumsticks for Tofurky," Marta Homlberg, associate director of Youth Outreach Campaigns for peta2 said in a press release. 
"This Thanksgiving, families can give turkeys something to be thankful for by choosing delicious vegan meals." 
But not everyone is as excited about this billboard as PETA. The billboard ran in Canada during the country's Thanksgiving season and was met with resistance from turkey producers.
 
"It's not classy, and not tasteful," Bill Uruski, chairman of the Turkey Producers in Canada told The Winnipeg Sun. 
PETA is also offering free tombstones for kids to stick into the Thanksgiving turkey. The tombstone reads, "Here Lies the Corpse of a Tortured Bird."
Children can visit the website and request a tombstone in the mail for free as long as they tell PETA why they don’t eat turkey. There is also the option to download the tombstone and tape to a toothpick.
 
"Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and kindness, and we should not celebrate this by eating the decomposing corpse of a tortured bird," Lauren Stroyeck, a PETA spokeswoman told The Winnipeg Sun. 
"I don't think it will have any traction," Uruski said.

native americans ate dogs.  I think they saved their white dogs for guests like Lewis and Clark who became quite fond of dog meat.
I think most animals are made of meat. :o

Ya know, I think yer right. I don't ever remember shooting any critters that didn't have meat on their  bones.
Can you imagine a billboard like that by schools, hoping to ruin Thanksgiving for those kids and their parents?? What lowlifes peta people are. POWDERMAN.  >:( >:(

 A while back I went out to the break area at work where a few of my Filipino buddies were sitting. I looked up at the clouds and said "Supposed to rain cats & dogs tomorrow." One of them looked up from playing with his phone and said "Really? Let me call my Wife and tell her not to pack my lunch."

No, I wouldn't eat my dog.  He brings me my slippers.  The wild turkey I cooked last Thanksgiving didn't.....

The point is young minds are being molded. If those young minds don't have parents or parents that have a sense to tell their children differently young minds will be molded by those that have an agenda. Destroy the idea that a traditional family works best, and the indoctrination process is that much simpler to achieve.

A few years ago a few crackpots came out with the idea that plants have feelings.  Taking the usual liberal/PETA tack..and the "sensitivity" routinely claimed by such liberals.... makes me wonder:
 
  Just what do the PETA puppets eat ?
 
Umm..Maybe road kill..since those deaths are accidental..and the critter cannot "feel" anymore.. ;) ;D

heck i hope all people quit eating meat. then i could git a big ole beef steak for a nickel and would not have to worry about anybody molesting my deer hunts.
 
however i do not agree with the crap peta is pushing on our kids.however to their credit,they have realized thier garbage message does not work on you average intelligent adult.so they have started on our children. it is our duty to counteract that.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that dogs are eaten in more countries than turkeys. Dogs are widely eaten, and I recall reading about how some people were perplexed about why they are not eaten in the US. Can't remember where they were from.
 
Seems to me that turkey is a better choice, though. Look at how much meat there is on a turkey and compare it to a dog. Then compare how long it takes to raise a dog to eating size vs. a turkey, and what a dog needs to eat vs a turkey.

If you don't want to eat the dog, eat the dog food. Horse meat is allowed to be used in pet food again. Horse meat was a staple of the poor before the horse meat ban. Will be again.

Like the cowboy said when ask his horse's name, "I ain't gonna name nothin I might have to eat."
