Peta isn't "making light" of the murder of Tim McLean, rather Peta is compassionately empathising with murder victims, whatever their skin color, caste or species. "Ridiculously backwards" is how I would describe the way primitive cultures used women as slaves, wore the skin of enemies around their head, AND the people still treat animals as slaves. Being civilized means leaving behind the practices that are simply instinctive and based on primal instincs... that's why we wear clothes, eat on plates, give respect to women rather than rape them and trade them, etc. Since we don't need to eat animals to survive, and because it is cruel and as I'm sure all of you would agree, murder of a living being, then wouldn't it be more civilized (rather than backward) to become vegetarian and let animals live in peace?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Claire Abrams</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:05:45 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: PETA Makes Light of Cannibalistic Attack</title><link>http://menstrualpoetry.com/peta-light-cannibalistic-attack#comment-1768132</link><description>Hi, most often PETA looks stupid, but extreme opposites exists to balance each other and bring some sense in our existence.  If PETA is there you can also see also find many people having exactly oppositive views....both of them balance each other and that is how we sane people can have some sanity preserved in this world.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Installation</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 05:01:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: PETA Makes Light of Cannibalistic Attack</title><link>http://menstrualpoetry.com/peta-light-cannibalistic-attack#comment-1762914</link><description>I've been back and forth on the PETA thing, but a lot of their ads are pretty tasteless. Generally, I see nothing problematic with comparing the slaughter of animals to murder - because, ultimately, that's what it is - but this ad is totally unacceptable. Comparing it to the murder of Tim McLean shows a complete lack of respect towards his family and how they might feel about this ad. I certainly understand what they were trying to get across, as does everyone here, I think, but using a specific case like the murder of Tim is extremely reprehensible, IMO.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derek</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:45:11 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: PETA Makes Light of Cannibalistic Attack</title><link>http://menstrualpoetry.com/peta-light-cannibalistic-attack#comment-1752572</link><description>Too bad animals can't talk or they'd probably turn down any assistance by PETA in the future.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">SusanDavis</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 22 Aug 2008 23:35:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: PETA Makes Light of Cannibalistic Attack</title><link>http://menstrualpoetry.com/peta-light-cannibalistic-attack#comment-1590112</link><description>I had no idea.  What a truly horrible thing happened to this young man - his life should be given respect not used for an advertising agenda.  I know this must have hurt his family.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Data Entry Services</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:45:06 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: PETA Makes Light of Cannibalistic Attack</title><link>http://menstrualpoetry.com/peta-light-cannibalistic-attack#comment-1586279</link><description>Peta are hardly going to win any sympathy for the animals if they show complete disdain for humans.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Learn SEO</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:02:25 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: PETA Makes Light of Cannibalistic Attack</title><link>http://menstrualpoetry.com/peta-light-cannibalistic-attack#comment-1582531</link><description>Wow, that's pretty tasteless.

But comparing animals being killed for food to another human being being attacked and murdered by an insane person... I just can't even understand that. Do they really not see that humans might be a step up the rung from chickens?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Summerm</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 17 Aug 2008 17:42:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: PETA Makes Light of Cannibalistic Attack</title><link>http://menstrualpoetry.com/peta-light-cannibalistic-attack#comment-1575588</link><description>Kinda disgusted at this ad honestly.
