Carnivore's Picnic

If you're a PETA expert, you might remember our classic "Carnivore Picnic" billboard. If not—or if you'd just like to brush up on your PETA trivia—guess which of the captions below accompanied this classic PETA image (answer after the jump):

Caption One
"Timmy, can you please pass me the rotten carcass?"
"Well, gee whiz, Suzie—of course. One charred slab of flesh, coming right up!"

Caption Two
What's the difference between these teen picnickers and a pack of hungry cheetahs?
Silverware.

Caption Three
The carnivorous pack had gathered for the kill.

Think you have an even better caption for this classic PETA billboard? Leave a comment and let us know!

Could you pass the rotten slab of flesh? I heard disease and obesity is in style, along with murder and Armani...

dateline : nowheresville, usa.

joe sixpack and his family, tired of the over-priced, over-processed and highly synthetic empty calorie junk foods available at the local fast food outlets, decides upon a family picnic instead. thinking he is being clever, resourceful and a pennypicher, he still doesn't get it.

Cruelty is on the menu. As is heart disease, high blood pressure, colon cancer, adult onset diabetes and a host of other maladies. in fact what he doesn't realize it that meat is the most dangerous thing we can put in our bodies, because meat is poison.

pure and simple.

try thinking next time joe sixpack, your family will thank you for it.

compassion. it's what's for dinner.

The Smiths are a peace-loving family.

They donate to charity, help the homeless, watch the neighbourhood, recycle used goods and promote equality among all people.

There's just one thing they overlooked.

You'd be horrified if you thought that was human flesh they're eating, but how is eating a slaughtered animal any worse?

Everyone's getting in on this "go vegetarian" advert frenzy. Even I myself am putting a TV advert in the works!

Just think about it... being exposed to various animals eating their kills, while being 'asked' if you're hungry. Then all of a sudden, flash-forward images of meat-making processes, then a 'juicy looking hamburger'... only to be greeted with a "Bon appetit, sucker!"

How's that for an advert? While billboards work well, how about some YouTube adverts to help spread the word?

Honestly, this one really takes the cake... or did you mean tofu fillet?

vegancoin, do you really think all of that would fit on one billboard? Seriously...

I'll give up meat when the cheetahs give it up

Okay this is a little off topic but can anyone recommend a good vegetarian cat food??? Sorry!!!!

Pathetic statement from a pathetic human. Cheetahs eat meat and it is normal for them to do so. Human beings do not need to eat meat, Chris. And what the hell are you on Peta for anyway? Jerk.

you know those pointy teeth in your mouth? the ones called canines? well it's been pretty much proven that they're for tearing up meat(like in the mouth of a... canine), don't get me wrong, I believe that certain types of animal raising are wrong,and so is killing for killing's sake, but i think you may be asking too much of people to give up meat. as long as the animals lived well, i don't see whats wrong with ending their lives (quickly and painlessly, of course) and then, well, eating them. I think peta is full of great people, but maybe a bit too expectant of their fellow man.

Do you really think our pointy teeth even compare to that of any other meat eating animal? Have you looked in a canines mouth lately? just a little different than ours i believe.. besides.. do you really think we could kill the animals we eat with our bare hands, tear the meat off, and eat it with out the assistance of man made tools? I doubt it.. and killing an animal to eat meat IS killing for killing's sake.. you dont need to kill the animal to survive, so you are just doing it for your pleasure not necessity..
