PETA Ads

Just recently I read an article about various videos that PETA has created. I knew that the organization had strong opinions when it comes to the treatment of animals but I did not know how ridiculous some of their messages were. The organization just posted a video about how factories go about slaughtering Turkeys. To put the process into perspective PETA decided to create a cartoon in which a boy was mistakenly placed on the slaughtering line. The video begins with a child following a truck into a meat factory. The boy is eventually placed on the assembly line that prepares the birds. First the becks of the turkeys are cut off, so in turn the boys nose is cut off. Then the birds get injected with growth hormones to fatten the birds. Lastly, they all get to the point where a saw slices the neck of the turkey. The saw gets closer and closer to the boys neck as he yells in fear but miraculously a turkey the boy meets in the beginning of the video saves his life. I don't know what went through their minds when creating this video. The video expresses the gruesome process of how turkeys are killed but at no point in time should using a human to portray the message be acceptable.
