 PETA campaign |
The group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, is talking about putting up a billboard near an Albuquerque school to convince children not to eat turkey on Thanksgiving.
The billboard PETA wants to display reads, "If you wouldn't eat your dog, why eat a turkey." It features a picture of a turkey-dog combo.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 visited a local dog park to see what Albuquerque residents thought.
"I find it very offensive they would put up a billboard of any kind saying if you wouldn't eat your dog you shouldn't eat a turkey," said Joyce Similar.
A man in the park told KOB there is a big difference between a dog and a turkey.
"I mean, turkeys are generally accepted as edible," Josh Feummeler said.
Similar elaborated on her response.
"A dog is a member of most people's families and you're certainly not going to eat your own family. Whereas a turkey, you go to the local shop and you purchase the bird and eat it. It's not like it's a family member at all."
KOB talked with a member from PETA who said they are having a hard time finding billboard space in Albuquerque. They do not know if they message will be posted.
