Two little "pigs" showed up at yesterday's Republican National Convention (RNC) to do a little campaigning themselves. PETA demonstrators—wielding signs that read, "Cut the Pork: Tax Meat!"—posed for photographs with happy onlookers, including these police officers:
PETA's "Tax Meat" campaign calls on Congress to impose an excise tax—which currently applies to items like gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol—on meat in the hope that doing so would help curb America's meat consumption. The tax would cover the health and environmental costs that result from using animals for food.
PETA's pigs also visited the Democratic National Convention last week in Denver. At both conventions, PETA was a big hit, posing for photos and giving interviews to NBC's Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, National Public Radio, Democracy in Action, documentary filmmakers, and other radio, print, and TV media outlets.
Support PETA's pigs by urging Congress to support a tax on meat!
