Mischa Barton has done a racy photo shoot with a piece of raw meat.
This obviously has PETA enraged.
PETA said:
“This raw meat stuff is getting old and may not only hurt and kill cows, it may hurt Mischa, because so much meat is infected with salmonella, E. coli, and campylobacter that licking it is like licking a toilet.
In addition to this being completely unoriginal, it’s completely callous├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥flesh from a tortured animal isn’t a joke, isn’t camp, and isn’t cool. Meat is full of blood, is produced with violence, and causes great suffering. So if that’s the look they were going for, too bad:
They could have taken a leaf out of the playbooks of Pamela Anderson and Alyssa Milano, two PETA pinups who have shown off their natural beauty in outfits made of lettuce leaves for PETA’s ‘Let Vegetarianism Grow on You’ campaign.”
In response to PETA’s statement, the photographer said:
“I did not kill the cow, I just bought the meat. If they feel like I should be using lettuce instead of meat, I will see if I can work that into something.
I don’t attack them for being non-meat eaters so I hope they can respect my choice as a human to eat it.”
They both make a good point. That still doesn’t change the fact that handling raw meat is not only dangerous but just plain gross.
