PETA Trolls Fast Food Restaurants By Placing Billboard Ads Right Next To Them

As an increasing number of people are willing to incorporate plant-based foods into their regular diets, PETA is hoping to take advantage and bring more people over to the vegan side. In their latest campaign to do so, PETA trolls fast food restaurants directly by placing their ads right next to locations.

PETA’s strategically positioned ads attempt to convince people that animals like cows and pigs are “Me, not meat,” trying to get eaters to see that our burgers “are made of flesh and blood, feel pain and fear, have unique personalities, and value their own lives just as we do,” according to PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. So far, they’ve put signs up next to locations of McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Subway, and KFC in cities like Denver, Indianapolis, Memphis, and Phoenix.

Of course, not everybody’s buying into PETA’s attempts to get them to stop feasting on animals. When PETA unveiled their crafty billboard campaign on Twitter, folks responded by declaring their love of meat.

Still, the call by PETA and others for less meat eating is reaching more ears. As fast food giants like McDonald’s and Pizza Hut add vegan items to their menus, the US killed 400 million fewer animals for food this year than in 2007, a 10% drop in that time span. So that message, whether it be on perfectly placed billboards or via new vegan food items, is definitely making an impact in today’s world.
