Sam Neill Urged To Evolve Beyond Jurassic Park Meat Eating Mentality
Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 in Actors, Not So Vegetarian, Videos.
Sam Neill has been starring in television advertisements for Australia’s Meat and Livestock industry. The ads promote red meat as a vital contributor to brain health and feature such taglines as “Meat – you’d be silly not to eat it”.
Jason Baker, director of PETA Asia-Pacific, has sent Neill a letter suggesting alternative mottos, such as “Meat: It’s What’s Rotting in Your Colon”.
“Seeing you pimp for an industry that is linked to the main killers of human beings as well as of animals is, well, sad,” Baker wrote.
Baker goes on to mention that people with higher IQs are more likely to go vegetarian.
Baker plays upon Neill being famous for his role in the 1993 science fiction thriller Jurassic Park.
“Won’t you agree that it’s time to evolve, choose a plant-based diet and leave Jurassic tastes in the dust (since the meat habit will cause the extinction of us all)?”
Here’s an example of the ads showing that feature Neill.
