PETA to Gibson: Thou shalt not kill animals

Mel Gibson’s controversial film “The Passion of the Christ” depicts the suffering of Christ. And that is prompting attacks from some who say that Gibson has been causing the suffering of critters.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is planning to protest Gibson today, descending on his cattle ranch in Columbus, Montana while bearing signs that read: “Thou Shalt Not Kill” and “Honor all of God’s Creations.”

“Anyone who sends cows to slaughter mocks God,” says PETA’s vegan campaign director Bruce Friedrich, who also is a devout Roman Catholic. “Slaughterhouses are the embodiment of violence, bloodshed, and cruelty. If Gibson wants his audience to contemplate the awfulness of inflicting suffering on the innocent, he should show his own animals some mercy.”

Gibson’s rep wasn’t available for comment.

PETA to Gibson: Thou shalt not kill animals

1. Stupid.

I'm a vegetarian but there's no point in claiming the Judeo-Christian tradition forbids or even discourages eating animals. Jesus eats meat for God's sake.

[Sterling]

4. Jesus eats meat?

I don't think Jesus eats anything to be honest. Even if you believe he rose from the dead I think he went back to heaven a long time ago.

I sure hope they don't slaughter cattle in heaven. Seems like a waste.

[Gothic Sponge]

17. I'm also a vegetarian

I can get behind many of Peta's issues, but in the last 10 years they have become stupid! Peta you want to be militant vegetarians? fine, i have no problem with that, but pick your battles more wisely.

[Piperay]

2. Uh oh

here we go again with PETA. :boring:

[Robin Hood]

3. I think that this is great.

Live by your preachings. Go PETA Go. Religion is so selfish and self centered.

[Muddleoftheroad]

5. More stupid crap from Peta

Anti-religion is so selfish and self centered.

[Robin Hood]

12. So you are saying that Religion

is not selfish or self centered? You're kidding right?

[Muddleoftheroad]

15. People are selfish or self centered

Religion is not.

[Robin Hood]

16. What would religion be without people?

Religion does not exist without man, but man can exist without religion.

[Muddleoftheroad]

18. It would remain a belief system

And while men can exist without religion, I doubt mankind can do so.

[Vernunft II]

6. As a devout and practicing CARNIVORE

I find PETA highly amusing.

[oceanpoetry]

8. I am vegetarian

and think that PETA does the cause much harm! their tactics turn off people. It is sad, I am sure they're not winning many converts this way.

[Vernunft II]

10. No, they certainly won´t

I do agree that there is much animal killing and torture in the World that could (and should) be prevented.

[Loonman]

7. What does this have to do with that?

Then again, I'm expecting what PETA does to make sense.

:silly:

[EV1Ltimm]

9. i don't think the romans ate jesus afterwards...

also "Slaughterhouses are the embodiment of violence, bloodshed, and cruelty" -- I, uhh, read the bible... so i don't think god is going to be offended by "violence, bloodshed, and cruelty."

11. in Howard Fast's book

..."Spartacus", the bodies of the 6000 crucified slaves were sold to be made into sausage. I always wondered if there was any historical basis for that, though.

[treepig]

13. soylent green

?

[BiggJawn]

14. No, they do that now.

"This is my body, which will be broken for you. Eat of it...."

And god TOLD his people to kill and eat animals.
