Never a stranger to controversy, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has unveiled a new ad that appears to be a little too racy for outdoor advertising companies in the South and Midwest.
The ad (shown here), produced in-house, features a bikini-clad woman holding a link of sausages. The copy reads: “I threw a party but the cattlemen couldn’t come.” The ad goes on to state that “eating meat can cause impotence. Call my hotline at 1-900-GET-ON-UP.”
PETA was no less subtle in its press statement: “PETA’s plans to erect billboards promoting vegetarianism have gone limp throughout cattle country,” it said.
PETA has targeted the five biggest beef-producing states for its campaign: Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado.
