WMDs of sorts
U.S. Marine Cpl. Ravi Chand has returned from his tour of duty in Iraq and
rejoined his old “unit” at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.In fact, the corporal, who saw combat in Iraq and stuck to his pure
vegetarian diet throughout the war, will lead a demonstration at noon today
in front of the White House, highlighted by PETA members dressed as an
oversize knife and fork and holding signs reading, “President Bush: Found
Your WMD ó Meat’s the Biggest Killer of All.”PETA hopes to make the point that eating meat kills far more Americans each
year than war or other weapons, in addition to “terrorizing” billions of
animals.“Meat-eaters make every day a 9/11 for animals in slaughterhouses,” says
Cpl. Chand, whose deployment took him from Kuwait through Nasiriyah and on
to Baghdad. “Nonvegetarians are the real terrorists ó they need to lay down
their weapons and pick up some healthy, humane eating habits.”PETA will launch a nationwide “Weapons of Mass Destruction” billboard
campaign later this month.
