PETA to Kids: Would You ‘Eat Your Dog’ For Thanksgiving?


PETA, the animal rights organization that thrives on over-the-top controversial ad campaigns, is now inviting children to consider that eating a turkey on Thanksgiving is the same as dining on your dog.

The bizarre Thanksgiving ad, which was released Monday, features a Jack Russell terrier’s head photoshopped onto a turkey’s body and says, “KIDS: If you wouldn’t eat your dog, why eat a turkey? GO VEGAN.”

“Turkeys may not be as familiar to us as dogs or cats but they have the same ability to suffer and that’s something people inately understand, especially kids,” said PETA’s manager of campaigns Ashely Byrne. “There are a lot of kids out there who don’t want to see a dead bird as the centerpiece of Thanksgiving dinner.”

PETA plans to erect numerous billboards of this ad near public schools in major cities in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Florida, New Mexico, Utah and Tennessee, to “spark a dialogue between kids and their parents,” according to Byrne. However, PETA is still negotiating with local advertising companies in various cities.

The organization launched the campaign, Byrne said, to raise awareness that much like man’s best friend, turkeys are also animals that are sensitive to pain.

“It doesn’t make sense to call dogs our friends and turkeys our food,” Byrne said.

In addition to the billboards, PETA also suggests turkey substitutes for a traditional bird, including the soy-based Tofurkey, as well as other soy-based recipes on their website.

This isn’t the first time PETA has used the Thanksgiving holiday as a soap box for turkey cruelty.

In 2009, the organization released an ad called “Grace,” which featured a little girl leading her family in prayer over their Thanksgiving meal and then suddenly launching into a graphic description of how turkeys are slaughtered as her family shifts uncomfortably in their chairs.

PETA had hoped to air the spot during NBC’s broadcast of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade that year, but the network declined, saying the ad “does not meet NBC Universal standards.”

Most know that Ben Franklin suggested that the turkey be the national bird.

Plants seem to have emotions as well. We should stop eating them too.

The smell of freshly-cut grass is actually a plant distress call


The lovely scent of cut grass is the reek of plant anguish: When attacked, plants release airborne chemical compounds. Now scientists say plants can use these compounds almost like language, notifying nearby creatures who can "rescue" them from insect attacks.

A group of German scientists studying a wild tobacco plant noticed that the compounds it released - called green leaf volatiles or GLVs - were very specific. When the plants were infested by caterpillars, the plants released a distress GLV that attracted predatory bugs who like to eat the caterpillars in question.

He was mocked for conversing with crocuses and the like, but Prince Charles may have been on to something.

New research suggests plants not only respond to sound but communicate with each other with ‘clicking’ noises.

It is yet more evidence that while they appear to be passively swaying in the breeze, plants are in fact actively communicating with each other in a constant chatter.

Scientists claim to have found the first solid evidence that plants communicate in their own language of noises which are inaudible to human ears

Scientists at Bristol University used powerful loudspeakers to listen to corn saplings – and heard clicking sounds coming from their roots.

When they suspended their roots in water and played a continuous noise at a similar frequency to the clicks, they found the plants grew towards it.

Plants are known to grow towards light, and research earlier this year from Exeter University found cabbage plants emitted a volatile gas to warn others of danger such as caterpillars or garden shears.

But the researchers say this is the first solid evidence they have their own language of noises, inaudible to human ears.

They suspect sound and vibration may play an important role in the life of plants.

Daniel Robert, a biology professor at Bristol, said: ‘These very noisy little clicks have the potential to constitute a channel of communication between the roots.’

Lead author Monica Gagliano, from the University of Western Australia, said it makes sense for plants to produce and respond to sound vibrations, as it gives them information about the environment around them.

Sound waves can travel easily through soil and she suggested it could be a way of picking up threats such as drought from their neighbours further away.

She said: ‘Everyone knows that plants react to light, and scientists also know that plants use volatile chemicals to communicate with each other - for instance, when danger , such as a herbivore, approaches.’

Dr Gagliano said the research ‘opens up a new debate on the perception and action of people towards plants’ which are not objects but should perhaps be treated as ‘living beings in their own right.’

The differences that do seem to matter are things like the fact that plants don’t have nerves or brains. They cannot, we therefore conclude, feel pain. In other words, the differences that matter are those that prove that plants do not suffer as we do. Here the lack of a face on plants becomes important, too, faces being requisite to humans as proof not only that one is dealing with an actual individual being, but that it is an individual capable of suffering.

Animals, on the other hand — and not just close evolutionary relations like chimps and gorillas, but species further afield, mammals like cows and pigs — can experience what pretty much anyone would agree is pain and suffering. If attacked, these animals will look agonized, scream, struggle and run as fast as they can. Obviously, if we don’t kill any of these animals to eat them, all that suffering is avoided.

Meanwhile, whether you pluck a leaf or slice a trunk, a plant neither grimaces nor cries out. Plants don’t seem to mind being killed, at least as far as we can see. But that may be exactly the difficulty.

Unlike a lowing, running cow, a plant’s reactions to attack are much harder for us to detect. But just like a chicken running around without its head, the body of a corn plant torn from the soil or sliced into pieces struggles to save itself, just as vigorously and just as uselessly, if much less obviously to the human ear and eye.

When a plant is wounded, its body immediately kicks into protection mode. It releases a bouquet of volatile chemicals, which in some cases have been shown to induce neighboring plants to pre-emptively step up their own chemical defenses and in other cases to lure in predators of the beasts that may be causing the damage to the plants. Inside the plant, repair systems are engaged and defenses are mounted, the molecular details of which scientists are still working out, but which involve signaling molecules coursing through the body to rally the cellular troops, even the enlisting of the genome itself, which begins churning out defense-related proteins.

Plants don’t just react to attacks, though. They stand forever at the ready. Witness the endless thorns, stinging hairs and deadly poisons with which they are armed. If all this effort doesn’t look like an organism trying to survive, then I’m not sure what would. Plants are not the inert pantries of sustenance we might wish them to be.

If a plant’s myriad efforts to keep from being eaten aren’t enough to stop you from heedlessly laying into that quinoa salad, then maybe knowing that plants can do any number of things that we typically think of as animal-like would. They move, for one thing, carrying out activities that could only be called behaving, if at a pace visible only via time-lapse photography. Not too long ago, scientists even reported evidence that plants could detect and grow differently depending on whether they were in the presence of close relatives, a level of behavioral sophistication most animals have not yet been found to show.

To make matters more confusing, animals are not always the deep wells of sensitivity that we might imagine. Sponges are animals, but like plants they lack nerves or a brain. Jellyfish, meanwhile, which can be really tasty when cut into julienne and pickled, have no brains, only a simple net of nerves, arguably a less sophisticated setup than the signaling systems coordinating the lives of many plants. How do we decide how much sensitivity and what sort matters?

For those hoping to escape these quandaries with an all-mushroom diet, forget it. In nearly every way that you might choose to compare, fungi are likely to be more similar to us than are plants, as fungi are our closer evolutionary relations.

Brings back some memories from my childhood when my brother and father would torture me about the veggies crying when I ate them. Thanks alot Zippy!!!:p

[MelissaWV]

Vegans have always lamented the mass-grave-on-a-plate known as the "turducken," a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey. But now, thanks to the brilliant chefs at The Sporkful podcast and blog, vegans have the Veggieducken!

A sweet potato inside a leek inside a banana squash and stuffed with (you guessed it) stuffing, the Veggieducken is simple, impressive, and delicious and may just have you quickly adjusting your holiday menu.I wish I were making that up.

I'd totally eat a dog.

True story - when we lived in Chicagoland we lived in a neighborhood that had a large Asian population, and even though we don't live there any more, the kids still have Facebook friends from that area. So, the other night one of the kids said he was getting a new puppy, and one of his buddies asked him if it was for Thanksgiving dinner. The first kid shot back, "My family doesn't eat dog, yours does!"

And the rest of the conversation was a smorgasbord of Asian on Asian middle school stereotypical insults. It was a true work of art. :)

[LibForestPaul]

This campaign is a plant. "Peta's stupid, I'm going eat me some extra turkey". I do not eat turkey. It has no taste or bad taste. Supposedly, "heritage?" turkeys are good.

[PaulConventionWV]

I agree with PETA. Go vegan. I do not, however, advocate doing it for the reason they are suggesting. Doing it for "animal rights" leads to sick kids that become sick because they don't know why they're eating vegan. They just want to avoid meat. And when you avoid meat without knowing how to supply yourself with nutrients from plant sources, you can invite a whole host of problems including a long list of vitamin deficiencies, anorexia, and other hormonal and developmental problems.

Kids, go vegan because you have read the literature on why it's healthy and approach with the intent to fill your body's needs with only the best food sources. Don't do it because PETA says it's like killing your dog.

[awake]

Turkeys don't bite or bark at goons trying to break into your house. Turkeys taste yummy. Animal rights people hate being people.

[dannno]

PETA makes a good point here until you get too far into the bottom section:

http://i.ytimg.com/vi/b9Qe0KYnWTA/0.jpg

They lose me when they say nobody should be eating pastured, well cared for animals. They almost act like well cared for animals don't exist, which kind of bothers me. It's fine if it is a personal choice, but the ones who want to ban it (I've met a lot of vegans, but none of the ones I've met have I ever heard them say they wanted to ban it, just the top-down organization PETA itself)

So not all PETA supporters believe that, many just look at it as a personal decision. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, one of the reasons I used to like being veggie was because I didn't have to feel guilty for killing animals. I don't think it is wrong to eat animals, per se, but there is certainly nothing wrong with NOT needing to eat animals. Everything else equal, why not? I've been eating primal for several months and I am enjoying it for the moment, I have no idea what I will choose for my future diet or if I will just sort of combine them both more at some point. I miss tofu sometimes.

[alucard13mmfmj]

I see little difference in eating pig, dog, cat, cow, goat, duck... etc etc. IMO, any animal can become a pet. You can have a pet horse or a pet pig. Just because an animal is usually a pet, does not mean you cant/shouldnt eat them. ALTHOUGH, I wouldn't eat one that was someone's pet...

[Victor Grey]

I'm not a hypocrite for not being enthusiastic toward eating dogs, I just happen to have principles they disagree with.

Herd animals are meant to be eaten by something, it's part of their own natural selection process, and helps them as a species of creature. If it wasn't beneficial to them as a species to get eaten, they'd probably be a lot more aggressive toward threats. They'd also probably not be so easy for humans to domesticate, and select for all the positive aspects we want from them.

If that something eating them is humans, delicious.

What's more, herd animals are dumb. Their circuit board consists of "eat, poop, eat, group, eat, sex, eat, eaten" more simplistically than any omnivore or carnivore.
You're hardly harming a complex sentient creature when you eat a cow.

Dogs are actually fairly nasty beasts when you give it a little thought... fleas, licking their privates, sniffing and licking each other's buttholes, then coming over and licking your kid. ugh

Seems uniquely American.....

In addition to the billboards, PETA also suggests turkey substitutes for a traditional bird, including the soy-based Tofurkey, as well as other soy-based recipes on their website.

Does this mean that PETA acknowledges that humans naturally like the taste of animals?

In other words....isn't PETA trying to change human nature, out of what amounts to a sense of guilt?

Dogs have been a companion animal the world over throughout history. As far as the licking and all, I always heard that enzymes in a dog's saliva keeps their mouths as germ free as ours if not moreso. I would like to keep that assumption, so I won't try to confirm/deny. LOL

I don't like PETA much, but what the girl said in that video is mostly true if you buy meat from factory farms. The funny thing is a lot of people know this but they suppress the thought so that they can enjoy their dinner. I'll admit I do the same thing.

It's a good illustration of how the brain responds to cognitive dissonance. If there's something you really like or want to do, but you find out something terrible about it, your brain is capable of suppressing that information so that you can continue to enjoy your life the way you live it. It's an age-old survival mechanism to prevent internal conflict and stress. If someone brings up the topic, the knee-jerk response seems to be changing the subject, getting angry or ignoring them, especially when it's something a bit more important than how turkeys are treated.

This reaction can persist even when an alternative or a way of solving the problem is presented. I think this is because the brain hates to own up to the fact that it's been lying to itself the whole time.

I don't know about the turkey, though. A very close friend died a few hours ago. He was old, and it was his time, but we won't be going out for Thanksgiving now until Sunday. I have two turkeys in the fridge, but I have been feeling not so good all day, and now I'm really achy. Ugh. Maybe I'll cook one of the turkeys for the kids tomorrow. What a day to get sick. Peta would probably cheer.

This is my opinion...

If you can't kill it yourself, you probably shouldn't eat it. In fact, I would prefer you don't eat anything that you couldn't kill yourself. More for me that way.
