People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is staging an unforgettable demonstration tomorrow, July 27, in Times Square, New York City.
PETA members will lie almost naked on large trays and covered with clear plastic in front of signs reading “Meat Is Murder” to mimic typical meat packages.
The activists hope to demonstrate that all animals, humans included, are made of flesh, blood and bone and that animals have the same senses and range of emotions as humans do.
“We are challenging people to really think about what ‘meat’ is,” PETA senior campaigner Ashley Byrne said in a press release. “When you eat flesh, you’re eating the corpse of an abused animal who did not want to die. We’re encouraging kind consumers to try going vegan.”
Where: Times Square, intersection of W. 45th Street and Broadway, New York.
When: Tuesday, July 27, 12 p.m.
