ROB ZOMBIE Says BUTTERBALL 'Tortures Turkeys' - Nov.

16, 2007

 

World Entertainment News Network reports that Rob

Zombie quit eating turkey at Thanksgiving when he

learned all about the torture methods farms use to

fatten up fowl.

 

The animal lover insists he can't even look at a

frozen Butterball turkey (a brand of turkey and other

poultry products produced by Butterball LLC, a joint

venture of Smithfield Foods and Maxwell Farms)

anymore, and this Thanksgiving he's hoping to

encourage others to give up meat as part of a new

People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals campaign.

 

Zombie is narrating the message on PETA's new holiday

hotline, 1-888-VEG-FOOD, where callers can hear the

" Halloween " and " House Of 1000 Corpses " director warn

that eating turkeys supports misery that even the

horror king can't stomach.

 

He says, " Every year, Butterball's Turkey Talk Line

answers questions about how to boil, broil, roast, and

toast the bodies of these gentle, smart, and social

birds.

 

" What Butterball doesn't tell you is that it, like

other meat companies, tortures turkeys before they end

up in grocery stores. "

 

Zombie became a vegetarian in high school after seeing

a documentary about slaughterhouses. " It freaked me

out, and I found it so disgusting that I stopped

eating meat, " he says.

I say KUDOS TO ROB ZOMBIE FOR STANDING UP FOR ANIMALS! Although I have to admit

I'm a bit suprised that he is a vegetarian--I would have thought he was one of

the biggest meat-eaters, considering his work. I clicked on the link and read

all the commets. I can't BELIEVE what some of the morons on there said about

eating meat--if THEY would only watch just 2 minutes of footage of what goes on

in slaughthouses and and FILTY conditions of them--the treatment of the animals

is just the tip of the iceberg--I mean seriously THIS IS WHAT YOU EAT WHEN YOU

EAT MEAT--it us UNREAL what we put in out bodies that we don't even know about!

Paul McCartney has been quoted as saying that if slaughterhouses had glass

walls everyone would be a vegetarian.

 

 

 

I stopped eating meat a couple of months ago when I heard a particularly

detailed description of how chickens are kept and slaughtered. I knew some

of it before but there were things I had somehow missed. I followed up, and

sure enough, they're true in many slaughterhouses.

 

 

 

I am a behavior analyst specializing in companion animal behavior, and while

I do think PETA goes a bit far sometimes, I believe that if an animal is

going to die so humans can eat him/her, his or her life should be one of

honor and dignity and death should be undertaken with care and respect.

This simply isn't how it's done, and I decided I couldn't eat meat any more

as a result. On the one hand, I don't blame my cats for eating meat-they

are genetically carnivores, but on the other, I have a choice both

physically and intellectually for my own food consumption.

Hi Lisamarie,

You have to keep in mind that I found that article on

Blabbermouth.net (a metal news site)and the responses

are probably from 14 year old metalheads with nothing

else to do than to be lame and disagreeable. :)
