You don?t have to be a genius to work out which organisation claims that allowing your child to eat meat is child abuse. You probably thought of them as soon as you read the topic's subject.

Correct! It's PETA!

I know we could make a library of all the posts that we have on PETA, but I was rather bemused when I read about them in a Scottish newspaper, I generally did not know that they had an influence in the UK (especially not Scotland).

In Edinburgh, PETA put up a billboard claiming that feeding your child meat is abuse...

This might sound familiar to you...Imagine my surprise when I searched for this topic and I did find a similar post - from 3 years ago:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.85741-Banned-PETA-Commercial?page=1
- Same thing but as a TV Advert.

(I tried to find it on YouTube but I couldn't, if you find it anywhere a link would be much appreciated)

The TV advert was banned in the states and the UK/Scottish would do well to do the same. I believe in free speech, but you got to have facts to back it up.

PETA are defending the billboard by claiming that they are tackling the city's childhood obesity problem.

I believe that NOT feeding your children meat would be closer to child abuse, and they are clearly hiding behind the obesity problem to 'save' their precious animals.

What do you think on the whole matter? Should it be taken down, or do you free speech should take priority here?

P.S Apologises if this has been discussed and I was just too lazy to look hard enough.

This just makes me want to eat more meat as a little "Fuck you!" to PETA.

This banner isn't helping anybody.

The younger you are, the more you need fats, iron, and protein.
Meat is one of the best source of all of them.
Not letting children have meat is abuse.
Edit: I suppose you could work around it with eggs, dairy products, and the like, but it wouldn't be as good, and I don't think PETA approves of those either.

PETA kills more animals than most kennels and pet establishments, you know.

It'll be taken down; ads have been neutered over here for much smaller inaccuracies.

Edit: This has been responded too way too many times. My previous post is much more insightful. Pay attention to that.

While eating less meat can only be good for humanity...this is about the worst way to send that message.

No, filling your kids heads with over exaggerated lies and propaganda is child abuse. these people will say anything to make a point.

[tt]The organization has practiced euthanasia for years. Since 1998 PETA has killed more than 17,000 animals, nearly 85 percent of all those it has rescued.[/tt]

What I like is the clear and terrible photoshop they have going on.
Like, what, they couldn't just find a fucking example of the problem they're supposedly bitching about. Can't be much of a problem, then.

Ok, there. It's sad that they think this will actually work. Especially in Scotland.
