PETA Protestors Asked to Leave Chattanooga's Miller Park Because of Complaints

 A jarring protest was deemed too shocking for Miller Park Tuesday morning.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals visited the Scenic City to promote its "Meat is Murder" pro-vegetarian campaign... But the Chattanooga Parks and Recreation Department decided the statement went too far.

 The display consisted of a nearly naked woman covered in fake blood wrapped in cellophane like meat at the grocery store.

Ashley Byrne is a campaign coordinator for PETA.  She explains why they were asked to leave.  "There were some complaints but people are startled when they see a human being lying in a tray covered in blood. Because the idea of eating a human is disgusting however flesh is flesh," she said Tuesday. 

 Chattanooga Parks and Rec officers asked the protestors to leave because of complaints.

After considering a move across the street to the EPB building, the four-person PETA crew packed up for Nashville.


flesh is flesh

I applaud the daring work of these brave and compassionate individuals. In times of so much cruelty and injustice it is refreshing to see people fighting for a cause. Sometimes people need a wake up call, something shocking to get their attention.. and this stunt does that.

if you disagree with the message, you should check out www.meat.org to see why these individuals do what they do.


Flesh IS flesh. Eat a human!

Flesh IS flesh. Eat a human!


PETA is BS!

I am all for animal rights and the fair treatment of members of all species. However, I find PETA to be an absurd group that is so far outside the mainstream it isn’t funny and when you really start looking, they are anything but ethical. PETA is a non-profit so their tax records are public, which means if you do the digging, you can see all the dirty money that went to fund radical terrorist behavior right here in America and around the world under the banner of the ALF. I think a lot of the arguments that PETA makes are valid points, but watch the episode of Penn and Teller to see why they are, as the show title says, BS!
