The ads incorporate lenticular technology, so that people 4-feet, 3-inches and shorter will see an image different from the mother carving a cooked turkey in front of two children. Shorter viewers will see the scene with the two children spattered with blood and horrified as the mother cuts into a live bird.
PETA could be a force for good in this world, in the tradition of the RSPCA, the ASPCA, the Humane Society, and the work of Temple Grandin. Animals deserve compassionate treatment; even if they are raised to be eaten, they can be treated humanely. PETA could readily bring huge pressure to bear on the fast food industry to change their practices and then prove to their consumers that the cattle they buy are raised and slaughtered humanely, that the chickens are likewise, from egg-layers to broilers. But no. No.
Throwing blood/red paint on women's furs -- whatever, charge them with vandalism. Naked women carrying signs -- I really don't care. My world moves on, long ago having concluded they exist to shock and are attention whores who achieve nothing positive.
But this proposed ad goes beyond the bounds of decency. PETA gets not one moment's support from me.
