The truck was reportedly carrying some 80 pigs to market but several were euthanized because of the accident.
Animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is demanding that the state of Pennsylvania “erect a 5-foot tombstone” on the side of the highway next to the site where the accident occurred.
The PETA press release said that Pennsylvania has a responsibility to push the PETA ideology. The group said the state must memorialize the “terrified animals” that died in the crash in order to “give motorists food for thought by calling on caring people to spare pigs the terrifying journey to slaughter by going vegan.”
“This memorial is intended to remind tractor-trailer drivers of their responsibility to the thousands of animals they carry to their deaths every year,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA hopes to encourage motorists to help make roads safer for everyone by choosing healthy vegan foods and eliminating this dangerous and frightening trip entirely.”
Here’s a question: when will PETA bother itself with memorials to humans killed in highway crashes? But then, PETA believes that animals are more valuable than people, don’t they?
Not one Muslim would travel that road. I say put up pig markers on every block!

How about instead we riot in Virginia over a black racist killing two white folks.
ReplyDeleteWHITE LIVES MATTER
And stoop to their level? I'm so much better than that. Go ahead with your worthless self.
DeleteI personally have never seen a pig dead on the road.Everything else imaginable but not a pig.
ReplyDeletePut Hillary's face on it
ReplyDeleteHerein lies P..p..p..p..PORKY Pig. RIP.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable.
ReplyDeleteWTF? They were on their way to the slaughter house......
ReplyDeleteLet's erect a monument for the death of PETA
ReplyDeletebacon
ReplyDeleteBury them in full honors with a 21 gun salute like they do for all pigs.
ReplyDeleteLmao. Full parade. As well.
DeleteMan.....that is the dumbest sh*t I ever heard.
ReplyDeleteChoose Vegan. This is laughable. But, I could agree w/o the slogan, choose vegan. Peta are like LGBT. Always trying to force their belief's and behavior on the Masses.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't PETA offering to pay for it, if the highway administration will permit it to be placed there?
ReplyDeleteThey want the taxpayers to pay for it? Screw them. They "rescue" pets, sometimes stealing them right out of people's yards, and kill them by the thousands instead of adopting them out, like legitimate animal rescues. Why? Because they believe it is cruel to keep a dog in "captivity" (by being a pet), and they think it is more humane to euthanize every one of them instead.
They'd probably regret putting a pig tombstone up there anyway. It would quickly be adorned with spare rib bones, bacon, and other testaments to the delicious pig.
