Some PETA activists stopped by the World Beef Expo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to show them a thing or two about beef—namely, that all meat is murder.
Calling attention to the similarities between killing humans and killing animals for food, one of our activists lay on a "grill" on a busy sidewalk, her skin painted to mimic the charred flesh that some people still happily consume at barbecues. Meanwhile, local activists passed out free copies of PETA's "Vegetarian Starter Kit" to passers-by who asked for them—and you can bet a lot of people did!
Check our pics of the great demo below—and check out GoVeg.com for more info!

Yes, let's have much more unequivocal "meat is murder," and much less "please slaughter your chickens gently."
Given that eggs are murder (for male chicks) and dairy is murder (for calves), it would be nice if you could change that "vegetarian" to "vegan," of course...

This is completely false information. All meat is not murder. God put animals on earth for a reason, with out the processing of meat products the world would be overpopulated. The consumption of meat goes way back, even farther than vegetarianism. I think that you people should put more effort in your research before you make yourselves look ignorant.

Michelle,
I wouldn't worry about livestock becoming "overpopulated" since most animals, such as dairy cows, are artificially inseminated in the first place. Humans thus control their rate of reproduction.
The world's grain production, on the other hand, could be used far more efficiently to feed the human population, rather than wastefully recycling it through animals.
