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.

PETA should really learn to shut the fuck up.

If you haven't seen the ads, here they are (They feature Sam Neill dancing which means they kick ass):

you don't get colon cancer from eating meat


you get colon cancer from eating unhealthily

you can still eat unhealthily when vegetarian

therefor, stop paying attention to PETA and they'll go away

PETA are just insane. They stick with small issues with a broad target. They want everyone in the world to become vegetarian, when fish and red meat are shown to be part of a healthy diet. If you aren't careful, as a vegetarian you can end up with an iron deficiency.

It's not even the cool kind of insane like Greenpeace. At least Greenpeace are campaigning for things that could be stopped...like whaling and dumping nuclear waste.

So you're trying to demonise vegetarianism just by the fact that Hitler was a vegetarian? That's an unbelievably shitty argument, and you should be kicked out of the thread just for using such a crappy argumentative tactic .

Also those ads were pretty crap, but I'd rather watch them than know that someone listened to PETA.

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.

Oh man. I'll tell you something. I have seen many vegetarians. Most look normal as in you won't be able to pick them out from a crowd. Vegans are easier to spot. They do look more sickly looking, pale, have duller hair, and seem to develop a lot of health issues.

There is something I discovered not to long ago. My manager hired someone who called themselves a 'raw vegan.' I knew what a vegan was, but never heard of a raw vegan. It turns out there are people who will only eat vegan rated food, then take it one step further and only eat non-cooked vegan food. This limits them even further in their diets.

It's a real shame because she was kind of cute, but she was so skinny and sickly looking.

Anti-freeze tastes good. Very sweet. Also very deadly, lol.

Better question would be why are our teeth, jaw, and digestive system designed to handle meat if we are 'not supposed to eat it?'

I fail to see how that's evolving. Humans are made to eat both meat and plants, and they can get unhealthy if just eating one of the two (not everyone does, but when I tried to turn vegetarian a few years ago (I'm not doing it again) I became really ill and my doctor said I had to continue to eat meat).

I don't mind/care if someone's a vegetarian, it's just when they... well, shove it down your throat and try to make you become one too.

The reason people are pointing out Hitler's diet is that the article has a quote from PETA listing famous vegetarians. You say
Yes but comparing it to Hitler is a copout because being a vegetarian doesn't influence your behaviour
which also applies in the other direction, it being ridiculous for them to say "Oh these people were vegetarians therefore vegetarians>you" how about listing great people who weren't vegetarians? Damn, that would take a long, long time.
From what I gather Sam Neill is somebody doing a similar thing to the thing in Britain where there's adverts just for meat in general on buses and the such, and so he should. Who are PETA to demand that everybody ever should do what they say?

I'm not saying just because Hitler was a vegetarian that vegetarians are evil, but saying that smart people are more likely to be vegetarian by listing the most famous smart, vegetarians is just not right either.

just like saying left-handed people are smarter than right-handed people, just because of a lot smart people being left-handed, it's simply rubbish IMO

My sister almost went vegetarian once. She saw one of PETA's shock videos and decided to give up meat. Then my dad made cheeseburgers and she gave up on the whole vegetarian thing less than a week after it started.
