“Meat interrupts your sex life!” That’s the message on a new PETA billboard that just went up in Dallas and shows a cow lying in bed between the members of a disappointed-looking couple. The ad aims to remind residents of the country’s top beef-producing state that artery-clogging meat and dairy foods can have a major impact on what happens—or doesn’t happen—in the bedroom.

The billboard is located on Interstate 35 East, just off exit 429D. PETA tried to run the ad at the nearby Trinity Groves mall, but the facility’s media company rejected the campaign on behalf of the property owner, saying, “Trinity Groves is best known for it’s [sic] restaurants and unfortunately this message is too controversial given the products the restaurant serve [sic].”

“There’s nothing sexy about animal suffering and clogged arteries,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA’s cheeky billboard will have Dallas diners swapping that deadly date-night steak for a vibrant veggie burger in a heartbeat.”

The saturated fat in meat, eggs, and dairy foods can cause high cholesterol, which leads to plaque buildup and hardening of the arteries, slowing the flow of blood to all the body’s organs, not just the heart. Low-fat vegan meals have been shown to address the physical causes involved in the vast majority of impotence cases, including high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, prostate cancer or inflammation, and hormonal imbalances. And of course, each person who goes vegan saves more than 100 animals every year from daily suffering and a terrifying death in today’s industrialized meat, egg, and dairy industries.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—is running a similar ad featuring a pig in North Carolina, the country’s top pork-producing state, and another featuring a chicken in Georgia, the top poultry-producing state.
