peta contest exploits turkeys

When will you get it into your heads peta? If you want to abstein from eating animal products by all means go ahead, but don't continually exploit animals in the process.

If you don't want to eat turkey, don't eat turkey, eat something else and don't call it tofurkey, call it something else, and most of all if you don't eat a turkey you don't get a wishbone - plastic or otherwise. If you want to make a wish for crying out loud do it some other way.

This is nothing but a gimmick that exploits animals and the poor idiots that fall for it.

From peta prime:

Wishbones have always been pretty bizarre. I mean, how exactly are your heartfelt wishes all supposed to come true by splitting a greasy bone that you pulled out of the dead animal lying on your table? And, after all, wouldn’t the turkey have wished not to be eaten?

Well, the folks over at Lucky Break Wishbone seem to realize that there are a lot of vegan wishes out there waiting to come true. Thus, they have created a wishbone that is most definitely vegan-friendly—the wishbones are completely synthetic.

So, now there is a cruelty-free option for all of you who still want to take part in this tradition. Just think—by using these wishbones, you can make all sorts of wishes about better treatment for animals.

You could even stick one in the middle of your Tofurky (just make sure no one tries to eat it!). Both the packaging and the wishbones themselves are recyclable and made in the USA.

Enter to Win!
We’re giving three “lucky” people the chance to win a pack of 10 of the wishbones. To win, post a comment below with a wish that you have for animals! (Don’t worry―the whole saying it out loud thing doesn’t really apply, since you are typing it.)

This contest ends on November 13, 2009, and the winners will be chosen and notified the same day. You should also be sure to read the contest terms and conditions and PETA’s privacy policy before you comment—you’re acknowledging that you have read and agreed to both by leaving a comment.

Good luck!

peta waits in vain for Queen and Prince Phillip

When Charles and Camilla were visiting Canada last week peta sent out this press release:

Ottawa -- As Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip meet with top Canadian government officials in Ottawa, they should expect an appearance by a PETA member wearing a baby seal costume and protesting Canada's controversial annual seal slaughter. The "seal" will hold a sign that reads, "The EU Got It Right: Stop the Seal Slaughter" The message is a reference to the fact that the European Union has banned seal products--as has the U.S. Among the officials whom the Royals will meet with are Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor General Michaele Jean, who ate the bloody, raw heart of a seal killed during this year's massacre:

Well well well, if you're going to protest to the royal couple, you should at least do your research and find out which royal couple is currently on tour in Canada.

If peta was waiting for the Queen and Prince Phillip they would have been sorely disappointed as it is Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall who met with Stephen Harper and Michaelle Jean on Tuesday morning.
