Just in time for Thanksgiving, PETA strikes again. The group is targeting children in a campaign to discourage people from eating turkey this holiday season.
Billboards that read, “KIDS: If you wouldn’t eat your dog, why eat a turkey? Go vegan,” were first placed in Canada in September. PETA will next target locations near public schools in Nevada and California. The billboard features a picture of a dog head on a turkey body.
“Kids love animals, and once they realize that turkeys feel pain and fear just as dogs and cats do, they want to switch out those drumsticks for Tofurky,” says peta2′s Marta Holmberg, associate director of Youth Outreach and Campaigns. “This Thanksgiving, families can give turkeys something to be thankful for by choosing delicious vegan meals.”
To drive home the portrayal of the turkey as a dead animal PETA2 is offering free “tombstones” to kids to place in their turkeys at home. The miniature tombstones read “Here Lies the Corpse of a Tortured Bird.”

sounds good to me. have been celebrating thanksgiving for 3 years now without turkey and the world did not end.
In china they would eat your dog just like we eat a turkey so their is truth in the ad which is more than can be said for most advertisements. Some kids making healthy eating choices and adopting a meatless life style at an early age will save the nation and the health care system billions of dollars down the road.
Answer: Her is one big difference – dogs have high functioning brains and are mans best friend. Turkeys are on the same mental capacity of as a lobster.
Would you like to suffer the way those creatures are forced to suffer? I DON’T THINK SO
Vegans are unhealthy people since we are carnivores. And animals were given to man to eat and obtain stuff you can’t obtain from weeds!
You like to gorge on flesh eh so you will always be in denial of animal cruelty as they are produced to feed your taste buds!!!
