A gruesome mobile murder case is the inspiration behind a new billboard that one animal rights group wants to bring to the Port City. The billboard would say "Meat is Murder" and would display the image of a woman's leg on a plate. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, commonly known as PETA, says the billboard idea was prompted by the Anthony Hopkins case. The preacher, who Mobile Police believe murdered his wife and stuffed her body into a freezer, "we encourage everyone to choose a non-violent diet by going vegetarian and while people are of course horrified by what has happened and by the idea of a human body being found in a freezer, we hope that this will stop and make people think and make a compassionate choice," said PETA spokesperson Lindsay Rajt. Others we talked to are already giving the proposed billboard bad reviews,"I think that's pretty sad that they would capitalize on these people's pain ," said Debbie Sherman of Mobile. The Mayor's office says the City cannot control billboard content and that it's up to the billboard companies to decide. Troy Tatum, the General Manager of Lamar Advertising, which owns 95 percent of the billboards in Mobile, says there is no way Lamar would run anything like that.

WOW, this is another example of what extremes this SICK OCCULT will go through to get attention! If I were the family of this victim, I’d be all over this one. PETA does WAYYYYYYYYY more harm than good in my book!

If they would compare an animal to a person. I am now really worried about their pets. What have they been doing with them that they would consider them as valuable as human life. oooo
