We've always said that meat is murder, but our demonstration in New York City this week literally turned that message into flesh and blood. Well, OK, the blood was fake, but the point was genuine: All meat comes from somebody. And when you show human bodies in those neatly plastic-wrapped supermarket packages, the point hits home and it begins to look like a grisly scene from Dexter.
The thought of chewing and swallowing the skin and muscle of a murder victim surely ruined some viewers' appetites for flesh food. It's the appropriate response to witnessing a gruesome display of the corpses of those who have been tormented and killed—you know, like in the butcher department of your supermarket. Let's face it, every piece of meat comes from an individual who suffered miserably and died violently. In other words, meat is … yup … murder.

For those who say "who has the right to choose who lives and dies" How do you have the right to say that an animal should live because it's quote "unrightous" to eat meat? If it wasn't an option for us that would work out then why would we be made with ability to eat meat? Are you saying God made a mistake there? Because then you would be commiting blashphamy for saying that God is wrong. Frankly this whole thing is subjective and I find it ironic that people whine about being chastised for being a vegitarian when PETA and most who follow do just that to those who choose to eat meat. Also yes animals have feeling and things like that but not to the full extent that human does and if they did they'd be human or equal to humans. To some extent you must agree that the only reason this is an issue is because we have reason and logic, a bears not going to stop and worry about how your doing before it eats you its going to rip out your throat and chow down on your bloody corpse. And Animals can fight back haven't you ever seen when animals attack?
