PETA’s new ad campaign asks children: You wouldn’t eat your dog, why turkey?

“How would children feel if Fido and Fluffy were stuffed and roasted for Thanksgiving?” asks a recent press release from PETA. In the release, the organization lays out their latest outdoor advertising campaign, just in time for American Thanksgiving. The series of billboards (pictured above) shows a turkey/dog crossbreed and the tagline: ”Kids: If You Wouldn’t Eat Your Dog, Why Eat a Turkey?” The campaign has kicked off in Omaha, adjacent to a public school, with plans to install the ad in locations in Oklahoma, Oregon, New Mexico and several other American cities. In the release, PETA’s Executive Vice President Tracey Reiman states: “Kids love animals, and if they thought about how turkeys feel pain and fear just as dogs and cats do, they’d trade in their drumsticks for Tofurky in a heartbeat. This Thanksgiving, families can give all animals something to be thankful for by sticking to humane, delicious vegan meals.”...more
