"The clip ends with a bloodsoaked toast to the festive season, with the message: 'This Christmas, over 180 million animals will be slaughtered in the UK. Happy Christmassacre.' PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is urging Brits to spare animals this Christmas 'and beyond' by going vegan. The chilling advert will run in cinemas nationwide throughout December. So, is it enough to put you off your turkey?"
"'Behind every trussed-up turkey, holiday ham or beef Wellington was an individual who felt pain and fear and didn't want to die,' PETA's Vice President of Programmes, Elisa Allen, said. 'PETA urges everyone to choose compassion over carnage this Christmas by tucking into a savoury vegan roast.' The non-profit organisation argues that pigs are soothed by music, cows have best friends and turkeys are doting parents."
"'But in the meat industry, the animals are raised in filthy, crowded conditions, trucked to slaughterhouses through all weather extremes, and violently killed', it said. 'In addition to sparing animals a lifetime of misery and an agonising death, each person who goes vegan also dramatically shrinks their food-related carbon footprint and slashes their risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and other ailments.'"
PETA released a two-minute Christmas advert depicting a family meal that becomes a blood-soaked nightmare as splattered blood covers diners; the clip ends with the message that over 180 million animals will be slaughtered in the UK. PETA urges people to spare animals by going vegan and will run the advert in cinemas nationwide in December. The advert states that behind every trussed-up turkey, holiday ham or beef Wellington was an individual who felt pain and fear and didn't want to die. The advert notes affectionate animal behaviours and contrasts them with claims that the meat industry raises animals in filthy, crowded conditions and violently kills them. The advert also states that all food used in the video was vegan and offers plant-based festive alternatives.
