PETA Fail: Runs Ad Comparing Greyhound Horror Killing to Animal Slaughterhouse Killing Horror
August 12, 2008 · Print This Article
PETA has done it again.
In a not-so-surprising-for-PETA show of good taste, the animal rights group attempted to run an ad comparing animal slaughter to the brutal murder of Tim McClean, the 22-year-old who was beheaded by Vince Weiguang Li on a Greyhound bus in Winnipeg bound Canadian bus on July 30.
“His struggles and cries are ignored … the man with the knife shows no emotion … the victim is slaughtered and his head cut off … his flesh is eaten,” reads the ad, which can be seen on the organization’s website.
The ad was intended to run in the Portage la Prairie Daily Graphic. The newspaper refused it. Rightly so.
If PETA was intending to make themselves look like insane, insensitive radicals who write heavy-handed copy more befitting of Emily Bronte novels, they’ve succeeded. They’ve done a bang-up job of alienating pretty much everyone. Well done, guys. This was definitely a classy choice.

Emily Bronte novels! LOL!
Seriously though, PETA should be ashamed. How horrifying for that man’s family.
This is nuts. I mean, imagine you are the family of that guy killed. Yes, there are issues on the animal right shit, but give me a break. On the other hand, we are talking about it.
Are you taking notes from Peta “They’ve done a bang-up job of alienating pretty much everyone.” Because your left wing mix of uninformed political stances and environmentalism is doing the same thing. Believe it or not, I heavily support recycling, utilizing true green products and saving our precious earth. That is how I found your site. But your political ignorance and hatred for anyone not from the Democrat party affects your credibility as an environmentalist blogger.
