An animal rights group has unveiled a billboard above a Glasgow cafe, urging people to 'go vegan' this Christmas. The advert, placed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) above Dino's on Alexandra Parade, features a picture of a turkey's body with a dog's head attached, alongside the message: 'If you wouldn't eat your dog, why eat a turkey?'
According to PETA, approximately nine million turkeys are killed in the UK each year for Christmas alone. The non-profit organisation is calling on Glaswegians to 'embody the spirit of kindness' by choosing a vegan Christmas meal instead.
Elisa Allen, Vice President of Programmes at PETA, said: 'Turkeys are smart, social birds, who don't want to be trussed and stuffed any more than we do. PETA urges the people of Glasgow to bring comfort and joy to all species this year by leaving animals off their plates.'
