Go Vegetarian Ad




What is seen in this picture is an advertisement that all animals (including humans) are all composed of the same parts. Likewise, since meat and flesh are all parts of animals the PETA organization is claiming that for that reason people should go vegetarian. On the other hand, this ad could really be objectifying women. Simply a male could have been used in this ad, but instead a woman was used because of her beauty and close relation to the words that are inscribed on her. Is this ad claiming that all vegetarians are women? As well the website where this ad was found had an interesting statement that can relate to that cow in the picture, "Because women and cows are alike, right? And you wouldn’t eat a woman so you shouldn’t eat a cow?"
