Animal rights group PETA has urged actor and red meat advocate Sam Neill to abandon his 'Jurassic tastes' for a plant-based diet.

The star of The Piano and Jurassic Park has been fronting television campaigns for Meat and Livestock Australia which promote red meat as a vital contributor to brain health and feature such taglines as 'Meat - you'd be silly not to eat it'.

Jason Baker, director of PETA Asia-Pacific, has sent Neill a letter suggesting alternative mottos, such as 'Meat: It's What's Rotting in Your Colon'.

'Seeing you pimp for an industry that is linked to the main killers of human beings as well as of animals is, well, sad,' Baker wrote.

'Maybe in your dotage you need to pay the bills, but perhaps its worth your looking to the example set by today's young celebrities - including Missy Higgins, Daniel Johns and Natalie Portman - who don't turn a blind eye to the fact that slaughterhouses are horrifying places... and who recognise that human beings don't have to die of meat-related causes, such as cancer of the bowel and colon and hardened arteries.'

Baker said people with a higher IQ are more likely to go vegetarian - like Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi and Isaac Newton.

'Won't you agree that it's time to evolve, choose a plant-based diet and leave Jurassic tastes in the dust (since the meat habit will cause the extinction of us all),' he wrote.

Comment was being sought from Neill.

I've got an IQ of 135 and I love meat, I'm also a rifle shooter who hunts.

Fuck you PETA

every single vegetarian/vegan I know is fucking sickly looking

you should stop posting


just saying, you are embarrassing: sane people, smart people, meat eaters, and gun owners

For once i agree with thisisfaggot

i was going to say what the fuck did i do, but then i remember and i pretty much deserve that

Edited:



a. statistical evidence is not conclusive evidence, b. vague (what's weaker? all bones? how week).

what the fuck are you doing

what the fuck are you doing

Einstein was vegetarian?

vegetarians are okay
vegans are fucking stupid

My fucking God I completely hate PETA.

They're so fucking jurrasic and barbaric themselves if they can't manage to get it through their heads that killing animals will not doom the fucking population and that eating meat is not evil.

We are damn omnivorous. WE ARE BUILT SO THAT WE CAN EAT MEAT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT OR IF YOU THINK THAT WE SHOULDN'T EAT MEAT, THEN GTFO.

caps is cruise control for...

no not really

Hitler was a vegetarian.

Currently it sounds more like PETA is protesting the meat, not the slaughter of animals or the care of animals.

brb eating beef steak

why even post that

We are damn omnivorous. WE ARE BUILT SO THAT WE CAN EAT MEAT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT OR IF YOU THINK THAT WE SHOULDN'T EAT MEAT, THEN GTFO.

Oh ok I'll go tell my dads friend to go kill himself immediately because he doesn't like the taste of meat hence is a vegetarian. Fucking think about it first you idiot.

So being vegetarian is okay, but as soon as you stop drinking milk, you become stupid?

The taste? There is a hell of a lot of meat out there, I'm sure he would at least like one type of meat.

Hitler was a vegetarian.

I'll go call him a liar as well because you obviously know more than he does about what he likes.

I think you're overreacting just a smidgen.

No, I'm just countering their shit because they keep trying to make it look like being a vegetarian makes you smarter.

Yes but comparing it to Hitler is a copout because being a vegetarian doesn't influence your behaviour. By that logic you're as bad as Hitler because you and Hitler both breath oxygen. It's a stupid argument.

every single vegetarian/vegan I know is fucking sickly looking

If man wasn't intended to eat meat, animals wouldn't taste so damn good.

They're so fucking jurrasic

Hitler was a PETA fag.

He didn't eat meat, and he loved a dog more than he loved a woman.

Yeah what now shut the fuck up

Hitler was a vegetarian.

I've got an IQ of 135 and I love meat, I'm also a rifle shooter who hunts.

Fuck you PETA

Yes he does, though it's stupid to think that's somehow related to his work.

thisispain needs to shut up as he is spewing out 100% concentrated bullshit.

God dammit PETA.

Also, PETA is full of over-zealous crocks.

Holy shit, that's an actual listed fallacy for that? I'll have to keep that in mind.
