PETA barbecues a ‘dog’ in downtown Houston, provokes thought and disgust

“When it comes to feeling pain and fear, a pig is no different from a dog, a cat, or a human,” said PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA is urging anyone who’s repulsed by the prospect of chowing down on a chow chow to extend that compassion to all other animals and go vegan.”

While the demonstration was meant to be thought provoking, some found it just plain disgusting.

The Walton and Johnson Show, which airs on KPRC AM 950, even posted on its website, “Dogs are man’s best friend. Pigs are not. It’s not the same thing.”

The station added, “PETA just wants us to hate them… And it’s working.”
