I absolutely despise it when commercials that are advertising meat use talking animals to promote their product. It is bad enough that the poor animals being murdered so that people can not only eat to survive, but rather to enjoy<\/em> a treat. It is bad enough that the commercials glorify killing and eating animals (I can\u2019t stand the ones that show sizzling chunks of dead animal flesh, trying to make it look appealing), but to actually use them in the commercials is just wrong. It is immoral and indecent and often encroaches on cannibalism.<\/p>\n

The steak-sauce commercial that has a cow singing to lure you into eating it is sick. The commercial showing cows and chickens trying to convince humans to eat the other is disgusting. And the rest\u2026<\/p>\n

In a similar vein, I really<\/em> hate it when people call Thanksgiving \u201cTurkey Day\u201d. First of all, it masks and dismisses the whole point of Thanksgiving which is to recognize the good in your life and that others are not so lucky, and to be grateful for what you have and to help others. Second, it is even more disrespectful to the turkeys who die on the day. It is bad enough they are dying, but to give the day a \u201ccutesy\u201d name like that makes light of and demeans their deaths.<\/p>\n
