Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 OK. I have to vent. I was reading the paper this morning and saw an ad that disturbed me greatly. This ad was for chicken and the " spokesperson " was a chicken, holding a platter of its slaughtered kin above its head. Over the other wing, the chicken had a towel, like a waiter. The chicken looked so happy to be offering its own kind for human consumption. There are similar ads all around: the Starkist tuna encouraging humans to eat its fellows; Who can forget the ads for a chicken restaurant that has a cow saying something to the effect of " Give cows a break, eat chicken " ? Let's not even discuss the larger-than-life pigs and cows outside steak and ribs restaurants. It angers and disgusts me to no end. Why would any creature be " happy " to encourage the consumption of its own kind? Wouldn't this be tantamount to a smiling human holding a plate of people steaks and saying " Eat up! " ? Does this seem totally repugnant to anyone else? Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
