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!

its funny to see all of you people bashing peta or any animal rights activists, and knowing that you have no idea what your even talking about. why dont all of you do some actual reading and research before you open your big cave man mouths. On second thought, please dont read, the more you eat the growth hormone laced steroid meat the less chance there will be for you to reproduce and have ignorant children of your own.
So, this stuff smells like Al Gore? I always thought The Goracle would smell like rotting flesh.
And by the way, Clay, yes I do know what I am talking about. Click on this link and educate yourself consumerfreedom.com
I’d use that product.
William,
The Center for Consumer Freedom is a front for lobbyists from the meat, fast food, and tobacco industries. This is well documented. While you have every right to disagree with PETA, don’t believe a word that comes from CCF. They’re simply defending their products and masking it as consumer advocacy.

Like I always say, I think PETA comes off as not serious about what they stand for when it comes down to the stupid stunts like these and it does hinder the message. They either need to find something else to do or get real/serious ads out if they truly want to make a difference and not make themselves look like a highschool joker group like they too often do.
You are all pawns.. look at the PETA logo.. clearly pixelated clearly FAKE and prolly from somechan… dumbasses.
Yes, they’re all pawns. Or perhaps if they were suspicious like you, they chose to click the link at the bottom saying “Image courtesy of PETA”…
This is the perfect response to that ridiculous meat cologne. It’s clear most of the people leaving the comments above have no sense of humor.
once again, many animal eaters here defend their right to eat meat, but none reffer to the suffering these poor creatures have to go through before being turned into a meal. and the slaughter part is just the end of that rope, the issue here is that these animals suffer from the day they were born. while i am leaving aside the debate if we as humans are the only creatures who deserve to live without being eaten by another creture, i want to know why is this that a prolong continuous suffering should be a part of today’s meat industry.
Dude screw PETA. I am so tired of their bullshit. Ok make your point but don’t bludgeon us over the head telling us how horrible we are for enjoying meat. Fuck that shit. eat your tofurkey, I will eat meat animals eat meat and they are not humane about what they kill. You idiots realize that animals will eat their young? You’d have a better message if you weren’t so goddamn blunt about it. You wanna bitch about these fuckers suffering take a look at how sentient they are. You think these animals were just recently domesticated? try for thousands of years morons, its evolutionary… one species exploiting the other for its gains. idiots.
