[cahk]

Per the title, PETA is launching a new ad campaign using references of the death of Tim McLean to their own philosophy

Any thoughts on this?

honestly...sometimes i thinks the PETA is a bit too much...

IMO, I don't think it's even comparable on so many levels.

Don't forget that Greyhound is also using the beheading as an ad campaign ...

They are actually pulling that ad (according to CBC) which was published before the incident:)

Wow... how absolutely reprehensible. They continue to show their true colours - what a bunch of heartless terrorists.

I honestly don`t see how anyone could support these sick lunatics.

Animal rights is one thing, but PETA is a whole other beast. Sickos.

Just for posting that ad, the next time I eat a salad, I'm going to ensure it has meat in it.

In fact, everyone who thinks this ad is extremely distasteful, I encourage you to do the same.

that ad campaign started in 2007.. they are taking it down because of the incident.

if you don't know the FACTS.. don't post claiming something which is false.. only makes you ignorant and stupid

Last time, when the RFD bleeding hearts came out of the woodwork in defense of PETA, I had a big crunch combo for lunch and again for supper.

I`m doing it again tomorrow. Keep it coming, PETA. I love KFC!
