14 DAY TRIAL // Throughout the course of this day, people who happen to find themselves walking around New York's Meatpacking District will most likely stumble upon a group of people dressed up as zombies.
Contrary to popular beliefs, these zombies could not care less about human flesh and brains.
Quite the contrary: they only want to convince the American citizens they come across that both a healthy lifestyle and sustainable development can only be achieved if more people agree to become vegetarians.
Most of these people are actually members of the green-oriented organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
As the official website for said organization informs us, they are to be led by Goth star Sharon Needled, who has only recently featured in a video which states that eating meat is very much similar to being a zombie, seeing how such dishes basically place animal corpses on one's plate.
Apparently, PETA's main drive for this peculiar – and quite scary, as some would argue – green-oriented campaign is the fact that American citizens hold a very strange fascination for zombies.
Therefore, they can be used to help raise some awareness, as these creatures are highly unlikely to simply go unnoticed by the general public.
“Eating Shouldn't Cost an Arm and a Leg. If Gnawing on Flesh Turns Your Stomach, Why Not Go Veg?” reads the ad which is to be unveiled by these PETA members in front of Old Homestead Steakhouse, 56 Ninth Ave. (between 14th and 15th streets).
The image that will be accompanying this message will show Sharon Needles, who agreed to pose for this campaign in a rather disturbing manner: all covered in blood and pretending to gulp down human limbs.
“Eating flesh means eating the corpse of a tortured animal who did not want to die,” believes this organization.
Furthermore, “Going vegan doesn't mean skimping on taste, and it's the easiest and healthiest way to lose unwanted pounds and keep them off.”
