PETA President Wills Her Body to Become BBQ & Leather Goods

PETA did it again. Stomach-turning publicity stunts are nothing new to the animal rights organization, but the latest one will make you lose your lunch (fair warning). PETA President Ingrid Newkirk has willed her body to the group along with a gross list of instructions on what they should do with each body part after she’s dead.

From Treehugger:

The Bizarre Will of Ingrid Newkirk

Here’s an abridged list of Newkirk’s directions for PETA to follow with her body:

a. That the “meat” of my body, or a portion thereof, be used for a human barbecue, to remind the world that the meat of a corpse is all flesh, regardless of whether it comes from a human being or another animal, and that flesh foods are not needed

Will does not specify who is to be served at the event, or whether there shall be beach volleyball.

b. That my skin, or a portion thereof, be removed and made into leather products, such as purses, to remind the world that human skin and the skin of other animals is the same and that neither is “fabric” nor needed.

c. my feet be removed and umbrella stands or other ornamentation be made from them, as a reminder of the depravity of killing innocent animals, such as elephants, in order that we might use their body parts for household items and decorations;

Got to give Newkirk credit for creativity for that one—umbrella stands? However, from here on out, things take a turn for the worse . . .

d.That one of my eyes be removed, mounted, and delivered to the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a reminder that PETA will continue to be watching the agency until it stops poisoning and torturing animals.

That’s not all – she also requested that her pointing finger be delivered to the owner of Ringling Bros. + Barnum & Bailey Circus, that her liver be vacuum-packed and shipped to France to be sold as human foie gras, and that her thumbs be removed and mounted to plaques to serve as immortal thumbs-up and thumbs-down PETA awards.

The rest of the will can be read over at the PETA website. It actually goes into the legal details on how to best accomplish her wishes. The will was actually released last year, but this is the first we’ve heard of it. Though nothing is really shocking coming from PETA, you gotta admit this one is an eyebrow-raiser to say the least.

Mmm, don’t you love the smell of wrinkled lady parts slathered in barbecue sauce sizzling on the grill?
