Comments on: PETA Slams Sam Neill Over Aussie Meat Campaign http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/07/15/peta-slams-sam-neill-over-aussie-meat-campaign/ Causes Entertainment Lifestyle Pop Culture Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:37:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nick http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/07/15/peta-slams-sam-neill-over-aussie-meat-campaign/comment-page-1/#comment-346152 Nick Thu, 30 Jul 2009 04:33:34 +0000 http://www.ecorazzi.com/?p=18108#comment-346152 I really feel as if PETA has responded to this in a really immature way. I can admit that the motto “Meat – you’d be silly not to eat it” is a little bland to say the least. But responding with “Meat: It’s What’s Rotting in Your Colon” is just another unjustified extreme. We all know there is benefits of meat, but that doesn't mean everybody has to eat it. The right to free speech is always there, if you want to promote meat that's fine, but if you want to promote anti-meat - no problems either. What I personally gathered from the advert (which I did see myself on TV before reading this) was nothing to do with the actual company promoting the meat, more just meat itself. I couldn't even tell you the company's name before reading this, I just took away that red meat was good for you. I respect Sam Neill a lot, and believe that this is a load of fuss about nothing. If people hate the idea of eating meat, that's perfectly acceptable - just don't try to force your views onto other people like a cult. If everything that offended anyone wasn't allowed to be expressed with free speech - nothing would exist. Everything is offensive to someone. Get over it...
