PETA One-Ups Burger King, Releases Gore-Scented Body Spray
After last week’s flame-broiled blatant marketing ploy by Burger King, PETA has come up with their own: a meat-scented perfume that smells like rotting flesh. PETA clearly saw the success of Burger King’s campaign and wanted in on the action.

“Most cows killed for fast-food burgers are castrated and branded without any painkillers, fed a diet of hormones and antibiotics, and often transported to slaughter without food or water in all weather extremes,” reads the PETA press release. “At slaughterhouses, they are strung up by one hind leg before their throats are cut and their skin is pulled from their bodies–sometimes while they are still conscious.”
If the package doesn’t turn your stomach, the scent might do the trick. PETA suggests the spray as a holiday gift, but considering that Christmas is only a few days away, don’t expect to wake up to the smell of flesh under the tree.
The meat and dairy industries is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation industry worldwide. Let’s hope the aeresol spray can doesn’t contain CFL’s!

peta(People Eating Tasty Animals) whats up with this spray, peta is stupid, hmmm lets make a spray from animal parts even though they don’t want the animals killed, make sense right…
I will buy both that I can support the meat industry and a cult at the same time. K?
PETA has really just become a pathetic excuse for an animal rights org. over the past decade. Their tactics do nothing to promote their cause and only end up hurting them. I used to be a supporter back in the day but these days I wouldn’t give this charity case a penny.
PITA’s ignorance is showing.
Pscyo extremists. If you don’t like my dinner you don’t have to eat, just don’t tell me what to eat you self-righteous pricks.
Cows are cute, and they taste good too.
BTW
PITA euthanize more animals then they save. Look it up you will be surprised.
PETA is one of the worst organizations ever. All of their actions remind me of the toddler throwing a fit on the floor of store because mommy won’t buy him the toy he wants. All I can say is, “Grow up PETA, and stop acting so immature.”
Will, are you serious? If you are not, you have to be the dumbest person I have ever heard of. It’s a mock advertisement bonehead.
Hey retard, it’s Peta not “PITA”. Now your ignorance is showing.
We don’t have to eat meat, so why do we? It actually causes more harm to your body than smoking.
so tell me … how do you castrate a cow… being that a cow is Female!?
Cows can’t be castrated, they’re female, Bulls can be castrated then become steers, which in turn are brought to feedlots. Go Peta, keep the stupidity alive.
Here’s a question for you: have you considered that maybe PETA DIDN’T USE actual animal byproducts in the making of this? There’s more than one way to get the smell of rotting flesh. A lot of you guys are just jumping onto the anti-PETA bandwagon, no matter how justified their current action is. If PETA chooses to release this in RESPONSE to burger king’s then I applaud them for this cleverness. It truly shows that they are evolving in tact and appealing in ways that show social consciousness.
