PETA Says Pigs (And Missing Women) Are Not Meat

PETA has launched a controversial billboard campaign in British Columbia that centers on reports that alleged serial killer Robert Pickton may have mixed the remains of women with pig flesh sold from his farm. In what some might call a cheap shot, PETA campaign director Bruce Friedrich says the campaign's goal is to remind people that animals go through the same pain and suffering during death.

The billboard, referring to pig slaughter, as well as the alleged slaughter of several women, says, "Neither Of Us Is Meat." The campaign is one in a long line of morally questionable campaigns urging consumers to consider the vegetarian lifestyle. One has to wonder, though, what a corn cob feels like when its ripped from its stalk.

NewYorkish offers its suggestion for a more honest version of the logo.
