PETA Suggests Vegetarian Diet for Suspected Cannibal

Written by PETA

Posted 01-11-2008

It’s just a suggestion of course, but I think it makes sense that a dude who’s been accused of cooking and eating someone should be put on a flesh-free diet. Or as PETA VP Bruce Friedrich puts it, “If people are revolted by the idea of eating a human corpse, they should also lose their appetites at the thought of eating the flesh of other tortured victims.” You can read Bruce’s letter to the Texas prison where accused murderer Christopher Lee McCuin is being held here.

To Andy Many herbivores and ruminating animals like rabbits and cows have chambered stomachs and other special organs to help them digest more vegetation. Cellulose for example is difficult to digest fully that's why you see corn sometimes in human stool. It's hard for humans to digest. Cows have the ability as herbivores to fully digest those kinds of plants. As for the teeth of omnivores humans have such teeth. We have molars for grinding and canines such for tearing. Our teeth are similar to those chimps who are also omnivorous.

"And to those of you who suggest that we are "meant" to be "omnivores" I would just ask you to look at the TEETH of dogswolvesleopards and see how much they look like yours. Now look at the teeth of cowshorsesgoatsapes all of whom eat vegetables. Ours look more like the latter. A carnivore's gut is short and straight an herbivore's gut is long and convoluted. Ours are more like the latter. Over the years we developed the ability to eat meat yes but we were never "meant" to do so. That evolved in the northern climes where vegetation became scarce." Ok so let me get this straight. You're saying you know FOR A FACT that we were never meant to eat meat many thousands of years ago? I don't know about you but I wasn't around back then and I'm not sure that I know many people who were. Oh and it seems to me that the back of our mouth looks more like a vegetable eater and the front looks more like a meat eater... Hmm.. sounds like a definition from somewhere... Omnivore perhaps?

Jay Let me get this straightYOU are criticizing PETA??? Your threat to buy chicken just for the sake of throwing it away sounds like something a 2 year old would say when he's having a tantrum because he didn't get his way. I don't really think YOU should be criticizing anyone else's tactics....

Why do you all feel you need to find confirmation in the Bible?? First of all not everyone believes in the Bible. Secondlyyou all have eyesearsbrainsconsciences don't you? You can see that animals feel love and build relationships? You can see that they suffer when they are hurt right? Would you ignore all of this in favor of what someone else wrote? I wouldn't. Why do I need to rely on someone's else interpretation when God has given me the ability to make my own? As for eating animalswe are not carnivores we are omnivores. Studies have shown that vegetarians are healthier than meateaters. What more do you need?

krystin fyi below. I don't endorse the info accuracy it's been a long while since sunday school. Feel free to refute httpwww.lavistachurchofchrist.orgLVarticlesDidJesusEatMeat.htm Since we are now living in the postflood period are we allowed to eat meat or not? And why would you consider fish to be anything other than meat?

Kyrstin The New Testament is where you will find Jesusnot Genesis! FREE BURMA Thanks!!!! And so true!!

There are so many ignorant posts above I really don't know where to begin. Nor do I know why all of you on here bashing PETA are reading a PETA blog. Sounds like a guilty conscience to me. And to clear things up Jesus ate fish no other meat. It's in Genesis. And people were not allowed to eat meat until after the flood when all of the vegetation was gone. So if you're going to use the Bible as a reference to make your point you should probably get the facts straight.

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
