Rob Zombie Speaks Out Against Horror

Rob Zombie and PETA teamed up for a 2007 holiday hotline, set up to combat Butterball's Turkey Talk Line, featuring Zombie. Don't know 'bout you but I didn;t realize what a turkey goes through before landing on my thanksgiving table. :mad:

No, I'm not naive but like what Zombie says and what is on the website,

"Turkeys often become painfully crippled because they are given drugs to make them grow so unnaturally large that their legs splinter," says Zombie. "In one Butterball slaughterhouse, PETA found a worker sexually assaulting birds and another stomping on birds' heads until their skulls exploded."

I am not cool with that. I'd rather not eat turkey than think about the stuff that the little guy went through to get on my plate. I think that it's cool that Rob Zombie did this because I probabloy wouldn't have found this info otherwise.

I suggest you go to PETA's site and order the vegetarian starter kit. It's free and has a DVD about all the shit that animals go through. It was hard for me to stomach but definately drives home the point.

Thanks, I think I might. I use to be vegetarian, for years actually and then somehow went away from it. Finding this page on Rob Zombie and Butterball has opened my eyes to why I ever was veg in the first place. Animals do go through so much unnessary shit and for what? I think I'll start by havng a turkey free thanksgiving this year . . .:rolleyes:

Or simply buy free-range organic turkeys

I plan on going to a local farm and picking, killing and cleaning my own this weekend!

Mass-produced food is terrible. Buy local, buy fresh.

I only ate free range bird for a while... then went vegetarian.

...

And then I had a big mac.

The end.

Sadly, that's the same fate most of my vegetarian friends submitted to.

I though KFC was the one that did more of them in.... most that I have known anyway.

I think if anything it will be a Portuguese chicken burger that gets me! :D

The animals are treated badly and if by stopping eating meat I could stop it, I would, but the sad truth is that it's not that simple. I feel bad for the animals and despise the people who did this shit to them but if I don't buy them and they get thrown away, then they died for nothing.


Animal abusers make me sick, I'll stick to chucking ferrets.
