I don't get it. Are they trying to say, that eating beef is as morally reprehensible as eating human? Because cows and humans have so much things in common???

In a word, yes.
Except cows are more valuable than people.

It's really sad celebrities will play in ads like that. I'm not sure if it's because in their fevor to do something about something they believe in they'll go for anything that tells them what they want to hear, or if it's because while supporting PETA, the celebs at the same time are using products made from animals Or and I realize this is a crazy idea... maybe they believe in the cause. It can theoretically happen you know.

It's a vegetarian thing, that animals are just like people. So since presumably you wouldn't butcher and eat Pamela Anderson, you should think of other animals in the same light.

Many of the fundies in PETA and other groups like that tend to believe that it's evil to use animals for food or anything else while crying for humanity to undergo a forced purge to lower the population and install limits like China on child birth to keep the population in check. Most of these people seem very anti-social One quote that stands out in the past to me came from Paul Watson when he used to spike trees (driving long spikes into trees so logworkers' chainsaws would snarl on them and more often than not maim the operator) where he claimed if man can cut down trees, then trees can kill man.

But fish don't have legs/feet/arms... etc.,
Also, it's Pamela Anderson. What do you expect from HER?

If they believed in the cause then why would so many celebrities which support them turn around and do wear fur and leather etc? their hypocrisy just stinks too much.

Celebrities aren't exactly renowned for their Einstein-like intellect...

I wouldn't butcher and eat her, but that's mostly because she's a known disease case. Nevermind the plastic landmines waiting to make the process a mess.

Urg. Words cannot describe my hate for PETA, but the fact that less than 1% of their money goes towards actually helping animals just intensifies it.
Penn and Teller did an episode on them, and pointed out the fact that they oppose all animal testing and encourage people to NOT USE medicine using animal components, but one of the higher ups used insulin unapologetically.
The only thing about the anti-PETA poster that confuses me; why did they point out that woman had been sterilized? The fuck did that have to do with anything?

Mainly as a way to highlight just how crazy she is. She's of the mind that all other animals are more important than humanity, and that we should just die off as a species so they live happy, free lives.

That would be porcine insulin, I imagine; I don't think many people even use that very much anymore, unless they don't react well to the synthetic insulins they use mostly these days. What I use is synthetic.

Yeah, too lazy to lay down a source right now (though it should be fairly easy to find) but the higher-up admitted that it was insulin made from pwecious aminals, and followed that with some shit about it being a "sacrifice we have to make so I can help save even more animals." Seriously.
