With Oscar Mayer seeking recent college graduates to drive its meaty, cholesterol-pushing hot dog truck across the country, PETA is plotting to poach the prospective pork peddlers. It’s offering a salary boost of an additional $10,000 and a generous benefits package to drive one of its “Hell on Wheels” trucks—a hyper-realistic transporter which looks and sounds as if it contains real pigs headed to slaughter—and promotes humane and healthy vegan eating instead.
PETA will be following the Wienermobile on the road, hoping to hijack the meat mobile mover for its own compassionate caravan. PETA’s offer includes a $45,600 annual salary, 12 paid vacation days per year, health insurance, a 401(k), and—unique to this position—a bonus paid trip to a luxury vegan resort, which beats going to a slaughterhouse or factory farm by a mile. Applicants should send a letter of interest, clean driving record, and résumé to [email protected].
“Hawking cancer-causing meat tubes stuffed with terrified animals’ ground-up body parts is not a dream job for most grads,” says PETA Founder Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA invites drivers who don’t want to be meat industry shills to apply for ‘Hell on Wheels’ and help save lives instead.”
Cows develop friendships over time, turkeys are devoted parents who purr to their chicks, chickens dream when they sleep, and pigs recognize their own names and sleep together in “pig piles” with their closest friends. In the meat industry, they’re crammed into filthy sheds where they’re forced to stand in their own waste, and they endure terrifying, violent deaths at the slaughterhouse. PETA’s free vegan starter kit can help anyone thinking of making the switch.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
