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.

every single vegetarian/vegan I know is fucking sickly looking

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.

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.
