PETA might have gone too far. Yes, they frequently go too far with their stunt-queen theatrics, but now they’re picking on one of our most beloved (Muslim) actors, Liam Neeson. While promoting his latest film, The Grey, overseas, Liam mentioned that he had tried wolf meat. This caused PETA to basically issue a fatwa against Liam and The Grey – which if you don’t know by now, is a film about Liam doing hand-to-hand combat with some wolves or something.
Liam Neeson’s latest movie is facing a boycott after the actor admitted eating wolf stew to prepare for the role. The Irish actor has the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals up in arms over his method acting for The Grey in which he plays the leader of a group being hunted by wolves after their plane crashes in the Arctic.
“It was very gamey,” he said while promoting the hit movie. “But I’m Irish, so I’m used to odd stews. I can take it. Just throw a lot of carrots and onions in there and I’ll call it dinner.”
Neeson, 59, further infuriated PETA by saying that while others got sick he “went up for seconds.”
In a statement, the animal rights group said: “Neeson’s stance on kindness to animals is sorely out of step with the rest of the world.”
They then urged movie-goers: “Don’t just shy away. Run away from The Grey.”
While most of the wolf scenes were shot using special effects, PETA claims the film’s director, Joe Carnahan, ordered wolf carcasses from a trapper for some of the footage.
“Many animals caught in traps chew off their own limbs in order to escape,” said Jane Dollinger, a spokeswoman for PETA. “These animals go on to die of gangrene or other secondary infections, sometimes leaving nursing puppies abandoned to fend for themselves.”
Despite the outrage The Grey has been a box office hit. The film’s producers declined to comment on the protests.

Wait, so is PETA mad that some real wolf carcasses were used in the film, or were they mad about Liam eating wolf meat? Or both? I kind of think PETA should have just focused on the wolf carcass issue, because that’s a seemingly more valid argument. If you tell me about wolves having to chew off their own legs, I’ll get upset. If you tell me Liam Neeson ate two helpings of wolf stew, I’ll shrug.

The wolves probably took one look at him and killed themselves. (They’d seen Taken.)
Liam Neeson probably killed the wolves with his bare hands. He’s such a badass. *swoons*
hahah. I totally agree that the wolves killed themselves as soon as they saw the wannabe action hero, geriatric bournein1946 identity. I dont know what is going on with liam neeson’s transition to baby boomer action hero, but I miss his old roles. I am so sick of his gravely monotone.
LOL!! I like LN, but that was funny as hell! I don’t get the ‘old dude action hero thing’ either.
PETA bullies! leave Liam alone! I love Liam he is such a gentleman. What makes him so sexy is his aloofness to his sex appeal. He oozes sexiness from his pores!
Your right. People shouldn’t get upset by other’s actions if that person “oozes sexiness”. Like OJ Simpson in the 80’s!
You joke, but that’s the Brangeloonies motto to live by!
Anyway, back on topic – since PETA “murder” 97% of the adorable fluffy animals that are handed in to their “shelters” any argument they have against animal cruelty is totally null and void.
booboobear don’t be a moron..OJ never oozes sexiness from his pores..Nicole’s and Ronald’s blood maybe but never sexiness. Have a nice day 🙂
@Tapioca- Yes because Brangelina are such awful people. I mean they are murderers, have done hit and runs, have been to jail etc. Yeah, they are really really horrible and evil people. 🙄 GMAFB.
Only a full blown ‘looniston’ or whatever would bring up ‘brangelina’ in a thread that has NOTHING to do with them.
The PETA people would kill a toddler if it meant saving a puppy.
Ahhhahahaha! Well done, Kim.
LOL!
It’s nothing but self-promotion. They pick on anything they can, some stick, others don’t.
I used to love what PETA stood for, but in the past 5 years they have gotten beyond caricature-ish in their defense of animal rights, they are losing ground and respect instead of gaining.
Wonder what they think of the Asian countries, where a lot of different animals are used daily in meals. Animals that most of us North Americans, and a good part of Europeans, would cringe at.
That’s precisely what’s so ridiculous about this story. Would they be promoting a boycott if he’d eaten bacon while filming? Pigs are incredibly intelligent creatures and are typically kept in brutal conditions, but it certainly wouldn’t have made headlines if he’d had a ham sandwich.
I think wolves are amazing animals. I certainly don’t want to eat one. But PETA is just using Liam’s celebrity to try and draw attention to itself rather than doing any actual good.
Very true. I love puppies but PETA can be so ridiculous at times.
+1
Love, Love, Love your comment! You said it all with just a few words. Beautiful!!
“I would rather be raped by an animal than wear its fur.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2z2lTUR5Ao
funny (and disturbing) The Onion vid satirizing PETA. 🙂
i hate PETA. see i love animals and i try to help animal causes. peta gives everbody who cares about animals a bad name. they are sick extremists who care more about attention than actual help for animals.
i for one boycott actors who work with peta.
Oh I agree!! I have 4 rescue dogs who were all abandoned or abused, and I only wish I could have more. I’m very outspoken about puppy mills and pet stores selling animals, and especially about cruelty, and when people make snarky remarks about I should work for PETA, it just undermines everything I try to accomplish. Those people are wacky and they give people like me (and you) a bad name.
PETA kills the animals it “rescues”
I also seem to recall reading a screed, maybe by Ingrid Newkirk, about how having a pet (even a rescue) was slavery and abuse and that these animals were better off dead.
Somehow, I don’t think you’d fit in well with PETA members who completely buy in to their full philosophy.
PETA people are the Fundamentalists of the Animal Rights Groups. They take it way too far.
So true! PETA is mad dumb. If they want to be taken seriously, maybe they should try picking their battles/better ad campaigns
Kaiser – Liam isn’t Muslim. He said he was considering a conversion. Not that he had.
About the wolf stew. I don’t know. People eat all kinds of animals. Crocodille, elephant, ostrich – the more exotic the better. I think the problem here is that wolves are endangered. His statement may get more people to eat wolf. And also since they are so closely related to mans best friend, the dog, it makes it even more eerie for me. Dunno, to each their own. The PETA-people need to stay out of other peoples biz. Not like he was out killing wolves for fun.
In your part of the world maybe. Liam can come here and eat all the wolf stew he wants, wolf population here’s disturbing the balance already.
How are they ”disturbing the balance”. It’s their world as much as it is ours. Man, I’m getting tired of people killing animals just because they’re ”distrubing the balance”. If anything we’re disturbing their balance. We’re cutting down woods and moving into THEIR territory. No wonder there is so much human-animal contact. As much as PETA is over the top I applaud them for speaking up for animals. Someone has to.
i think there may be an even more dangerous creature disturbing the balance. 300,000 years ago it evolved in africa, then spread out and 30,000 years ago put a choke hold on all other competitive species in its genus.
damn homo sapiens.
lol i swear I’m not a peta freak
Where exactly are you located? I’d like to come there and cut back your human population to make things a little more fair for the animals. Wolves only use their teeth to kills, humans have a ridiculously unfair advantage.
Wolves are some of the most majestic, beautiful, and brilliant animals that exist. I’d rather wipe humans off this sad little planet and let the animals flourish.
If people truly want WORLD PEACE, annihilate the human race and animals will restore balance and peace to the planet. They only get violent in order to eat and protect their young and territories. People are twisted and sick in comparison.
Yep, Jen, except when a lion picks off the crippled gazelle. Humans wouldn’t do that — we look after and protect our young and vulnerable.
I admire your love for animals (and share your love for wolves), but when you start saying that we should do away with people so animals can run the planet…well…you sound more than a little unhinged.
This one’s for JenJen, but if wolves are so amazing and awesome they would grow some opposable thumbs, develop weapons, and fight back, I mean hello! (eye roll)
JenJen, that sounds like a threat.
I’d say that stupid actors, who try to push their thoughts to the wider world, are disturbing the balance of things…
I’d rather watch Call of the Wild (again) than watch Z-grade Neeson in this film. He only acts for money these days.
The only species disturbing the balance of the world that Nature had maintained is us. Humans.
Someone wise (I forget who) said that if you eliminate an animal or plant species from the world, other species (flora and/or fauna) would be adversely affected. If humans became extinct, the planet would slowly recover from the problems we continue to create: pollution, global warming, deforestation, and excessive exploitation of natural resources due to overpopulation and greed.
Don’t make wolves the scapegoat when the blame lies squarely with people.
And what about those bastards everywhere else in the world that go for seconds every thanksgiving/Christmas/ect? Peta is going to have to boycott every single actor/ model/ athlete/singer out there who has ever eaten any type of meat in order for them to be taken seriously about boycotting Liam. People need to eat what people have available in order to survive, and if it’s wolf meat, than so be it.
Yes and no — while I’d never want to see any animal suffer, wolves aren’t exactly “eating” animals. Chickens, cows, turkeys, pigs, etc. are raised and killed strictly for their meat. I don’t know of anywhere that it would be cost efficient to feed and raise wolves just to kill them for food. They don’t live on grass and seeds and slop.
I don’t really agree with eating wolf stew, but every animal is food in some area of the world. Don’t the Chinese eat cats?
Why in the world would he say he ate wolf stew? Is he too dim to realize that many people consider that not only distasteful but wrong? Liam was, believe it or not, NOT in a plane crash fighting for his survival; I’m quite certain he could have either a) avoided wolf stew or b) quietly eaten it and shut up about it. He comes off looking bad in this story whether you agree with PETA or not, just as he would if he told everyone he ate lion dumplings while filming a movie in Kenya or elephant chowder while filming in India.
ITA. He wasn’t out there fighting them for his survival, it was a movie. Disgusts me that he would eat it and makes me think he’s rather dim for talking about it as well.
Dude, he ate some exotic meat… no different from eating deer. My father went to an Asian country (forget which one) where the local thing was monkey brain… he tried it to be polite, but they are PESTS in that locale. Wolves are deemed to be pests in other areas… survival of the fittest. Deal with it. Meat isn’t going anywhere. You don’t have to eat it, but don’t judge if other people do.
Decemberist15 – Meat isn’t going anywhere but the wolves are. A couple of years ago wolves were nearly extinct. I don’t want my kids to grow up in a world where wolves are only a thing of the past. To be worshipped in zoo’s but not in the wild. Until the inbreeding makes it impossible for wolves to be born without defects. It’s wrong. And don’t give me the whole ‘no different from deer’-rutine. Deer are hardly near extinction.
In some places wolves are pests”…like deer
Do they know the wolves were inhumanely trapped? There are human traps in existence. And PETA claims that it’s the Liam Neeson who is out of step with the rest of the world?
I guess if anything, a call for a boycott from PETA is as good as money in the bank for the focus of their often misplaced ire.
Eating wolf meat?? That’s crazy. I’d be mad too.
It is rather gross. I could never eat a canine, or a feline for that matter. I’m sure it’s just my cultural biases, but whatever, I still think it’s repulsive.
I also hate this movie for perpetuating the myth that wolves are bloodthirsty human killers. FALSE.
True. Wolves, animals in general, rarely attack humans. To them, we probably taste like cardboard. They don’t attack unless threatened or starving to the point of death (in most cases).
Quite true. Sometimes a wolf or a pack will stalk and kill a human that is thought to be threatening their safety, but they don’t go around with an “ooh, human meat!” mentality.
I heard this movie is so terrible, I doubt PETA will even need to call for a boycott! LOL
it had some good reviews and 77% on Rotten Tomatoes
Which was actually the point of the movie. The wolves felt threatened. That’s why they were after the plane crash survivors.
PETA, walk away from this boycott or Liam will find you and kill you.
you have a point.
Calling to boycott the guy who outsmarted the nazis, who trained darth vader, who trained batman and who lead the a-team? good luck.
LOL!!
Don’t forget how he single-handedly killed all those rough Eastern European men with guns in the white trade business, that had abducted his daughter!
Honestly, PETA attacking a well-liked actor like Liam Neeson, who tore our hearts not long ago with his interviews about dealing with his wife dying, is really not going to redeem them in the public’s eye.
They should pick more carefully their targets, and more specifically, their wording.
HA! This might win for best comment on this post.
I raise chickens. I eat their unfertilized eggs. ZOMG!!! Alert PETA.
how did you acquire those chickens?! i bet you trapped them, and i bet you trapped them inhumanely! i’m coming to your farm. and ooooo hhhh believe you me, the first one legged chicken i see hopping about, I’m going to leave and write you a strongly worded letter to be dispursed publicly. and when people read that they will boycott you! and did I mention STRONGLY WORDED.
*i know how chickens are treated really poorly and terribly in factory farms, the videos make me cry, so no one get their panties in a bunch.
Everything phrase in here was perfect. I agree completely 😉
I don’t know anything about the state of the wolf population throughout the world, but it wouldn’t suprise me if the it isn’t uncommon for wolf to be eaten somewhere. Not saying it’s good, bad or whatever. But Liam Neeson boycotted? Please. He’s Liam Neeson! You don’t mess with Liam Neeson! He’ll come after you! How about they boycott the famous people who continuously set such a poor example by their actions?
There are a number of wolf species that are endangered. I think they have a point.
Co-sign!
just to keep ranting about this wannabe, I was born and raised in alaska. while we ate moose, spruce hen, squirrels, rabbit, bear, caribou, and pretty much any other damn thing, NO ONE hunted wolves and ate them. no one, not even sarah palin claims to have eaten wolf stew. WTF is he yabbering on about constantly, trying to reinvent himself as some believable bad-ass. I bet a million dollars most of what he does is eat scones and tea off fine china.
I couldn’t eat bear, but yes, it is bizarre to contemplate someone eating wolf stew.
I would much rather assume that the needless shooting of wolves from a helicopter would at least have the meat go to good use. Its simply because wolves resemble something we consider hitting too close to home (dogs). If an animal is going to be killed I’d much rather know that it is getting used. And using Sarah Palin to try and give us some indication that Liam is crazy, bad call.
Sam, the Sarah Palin reference was a joke, obviously.
and no, the meat that is from aerial hunting does not get eaten, unlike roadkill moose, for which there is a waiting list. like I said before, no one in alaska is eating wolves.
aerial hunting of wolves is sick and wasteful, not done because of some imbalance that nature can’t take care of without human intervention from a helicopter. It is done to keep caribou populations unnaturally high so that more hunting tourists come to alaska. please do your research!
It might make me a bad person but all i see is sexy lip biting. Move over Kirsten Stewart.
Shut your trap, PETA! I’m gonna watch that flick.
off topic but maybe not…..Peta should fatwa those people who hunt Giraffes for spot.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2089806/The-giraffe-hunters-pay-10-000-shoot-gentle-giants-guns-bows-sport.html
Who the hell would hunt a giraffe? That’s such a weird thing to hunt. I love giraffes 🙁
Then take a picture with a murdered Giraffe? Very sad 🙁
That is absolutely sick! How dare they! I am shocked. And that family! Posing next to the dead giraf with the children :O What kind of parents would even do that? Vile people. And then they’re grinning from ear to ear. I don’t even know. I think I just lost my faith in humankind. They killed them for pleasure. I don’t mind if it’s for food but pleasure? (It’s not sport. If it were sport the girafs would have high-powered rifles as well). That makes me want to cry. A defenseless animal, girafs are endangered and pose no threat to humans. These people are disgusting. Poor, poor girafs. Poor, poor animals.
Thank you Liam – now you’ve made me hungry for some wolf stew.
Some of the posters here are so hypocritical. when you like someone the dumb shit the do is Oh he is so badass.. GMAFB..
he was dumb and what he did was dumb. But it will be interesting to see how some of the same people commenting will attack celebs that wear fur or think they are wearing fur.
double standard.
Okay, Peta “claims” they used carcasses. I will just take that with a grain of salt. It’s not like he asked where he could unload a suitcase full of panda meat. He ate some wolf stew. Who cares? He isn’t starting up a wolf farm (though I think we should all eat endangered animals. Want to save a species? Convince the masses to eat it. Suddenly farms everywhere to capitalize.) so just breathe.
eating wolf is like eating dog; you dont do it if you dont have to. Bark barf.
Gee, PETA’s targets seem to inlcude anyone who doesn’t live within biking or hiking distance of a Whole Foods.
Great answer!
i get what PETA is saying. that the wolves were killed inhumanely for their meat. PETA promots vegetarianmism. just say thank you PETA for helpint animals and move on. i love liam too!!
but can they confirm that these “wolf carcasses” allegedly used in the film and the wolves used for the stew were killed in traps and inhumanely as they claim?
I’ve eaten some bizarre things in my travels because, unless I know I’m allergic to something, I tend to try to eat how people who live in the locale/culture I happen to be visiting eat. I can’t imagine that I’d have the stomach to knowingly eat canine (or feline) of any kind but if this was part of a meal the locals made and served maybe he was trying to experience local culture where the movie was shot?
Bragging about eating an endangered animal that was killed inhumanely makes him look like an ass. Not a bad-ass, just an ass. I don’t care if people like his movies, that’s no excuse for disgusting behavior.
Well PETA going to come after me next, because I’d eat a Liam’s wolf stew anytime.
I think the information about animals chewing off their own limbs is extremely upsetting. I’m a happy meat eater, but if all animals were killed in such a cruel way I’d happily go vegie! 🙁
I read somewhere that non-organic milk farms let the cows get so fat that they trample on their own udders and nobody cares because they can systematically shoot them up with antibiotics :/
I read somewhere sometime that aliens picked up some guy off the freeway and anally probed him against his will… why are you not coming to his defense?
No one asked me to and I haven’t been privy to that article. But hey, if he says it’s true….. The Universe is too big for there to only be humans and animals around.
I was going to comment but, I’ve got 2 thick-ass ribeyes on the grill that I’ve got to flip
same philosphy as me. I don’t care what animal you eat as long as you didn’t torture it and it isn’t endangered. Humans are omnivores. deal with it peeps.
Bingo!
Liam Neeson has a history of supporting animal abuse. He was violently vocal against those trying to save the terribly abused carriage horses in NYC. What kind of sentient being finds a violent, abusive creature sexy?
I don’t need to boycott him, I don’t watch his movies anymore because they’re pretty much all the same. It’s the same dick flick over and over, like the actresses do with their romantic comedies.
He’s boring to watch and really needs to do something different.
PETA contradicts itself on so many levels, who can take them seriously any longer?
Eat up, Liam! Waste not, want not.
So are all the animal lovers on this forum who are moaning about what animals are eaten wherever, vegetarians ? probably not, I bet they all tuck into roast beef and yorkshire puddings or lamb and mint sauce or pork with apple sauce or chicken with sage & onion stuffing for their Sunday roast every weekend !!!
I say, don’t moan about eating animals if you eat them yourself !!
um, no I actually dont eat any of that. Sounds like a diet for doughy people.
@JudyX3 – There are an awful lot of overweight/obese people who are vegetarian or vegan so let’s not assume the “doughy people” are that way because of an “unhealthy” animal product containing diet.
I’m an omnivore but am pretty much ovo/lacto. Recently, I’ve been eating a lot of vegan stuff lately and there’s part of me who finally understands how you can get really fat on a vegan diet. Seriously, those vegan cookies are really good but ya gotta be careful because they are addicting and those calories add up fast!
I’m a vegetarian and I certainly wasn’t moaning about him eating meat. I say, to each their own and I don’t mind people eating meat as long as the animals are killed humanely. I try to say what I mean and mean what I say. No point in getting up in arms when you’re doing it yourself (in this case; eating meat). Also, I think most people here are angry because of the way the animals were treated, not the eating-part. If I ate meat I’d rather eat from an animal who’s had a good life than one who has hardly seen the light of day or was killed in-humanely. The director ordered a trapper to get the wolf meat so that the actors could get into character. Trappers use snares and leghold traps which is as in-humane and cruel as it gets.
really, the director ordered it? blech, that’s a bit much
if he wanted them to get into character, maybe he should have made them learn to fend for themselves a bit and hunt, kill and butcher the animal themselves. I doubt any of them would have been able to do it.
Yes. He ordered it so they could ”get into character”. It’s hard not to get irked while reading about The Grey since wolves just got delisted as an Endangered Species. It’s even harder to then read interviews with Joe Carnahan, the director, defending his portrayal of wolves as realistic, instead of simply admitting that it’s completely fictional. The idea that a pack of wild wolves that have never had contact with humans would go after humans in a territorial blood war is implausible at best, dangerously misleading at worst. To those of you who would say “It’s only a movie,” think about how sharks fared after Jaws came out. Last year 36 million sharks were killed for soup, their fins cut off while the rest of them sank to the bottom of the sea and drowned. Did a movie do this? No. But a movie helped make it okay. Sharks and wolves, they’re vicious predators, they’ll kill you. So it becomes okay to kill them. Like it or not, movies affect public opinion and actions. They change us. Just this year the Interior Department caved to pressure from ranchers and farmers to allow regular wolf hunts in addition to outright killings of ‘problem wolves’ that attack cattle.
Grey wolves have been brought from the edge of extinction to a total and still tenuous population of just 5,500 in eight states in the Northern Rockies.
This whole situation with animals becoming extinct and poachers killing animals for fur or ivory is just sad all around.
Sooo some people are offended at the fact that he ate wolf meat…but some don’t have a problem wolfing down that juicy buffalo burger? got it….
Eating a wolf is not the same as eating a chicken. If people can’t see the difference and think all animals are the same, then I have a right to go out and kill humans just like chickens, right? RIGHT? I didn’t think so.
Um you’re comparing eating a wolf to eating a human? HAHA! A wolf and chicken are obviously different animals but I would feel the same about eating them. Actually, I’d probably feel better about eating wolf meat because most likely the wolf had a nice life, running free and hunting whereas the chicken probably spent it’s life in a tiny cage within an industrial slaughterhouse.
Wolves are closer to humans than they are to chickens. They are predators, not prey. They are intelligent. They have complex social structure. They breed and raise young ones slowly and deliberately, not rapidly like chickens or fish or other animals that are meant to be feeder food for larger animals.
And by your own argument, it’s better to kill a human than a chicken, because the human got to run free, have fun, go to movies, and enjoy life, instead of the poor chicken living in a cage. That doesn’t make sense to me.
I adore Liam. Nuf said.
And don’t forget to end every argument with “FACT!!” because it will show how mature you are, and preemptively stop anyone else from arguing. “Nuf said” is good, but “FACT!!” is better.
That was sarcasm, by the way.
PETA is so stupid and ridiculous! Boycott someone because they eat MEAT? Why aren’t they boycotting every celebrity who eats beef, lamb, or chicken stew?
I am against animals being used for fur, ivory, veal, croc-skin shoes, or other frivolous things but lots of HUMANS eat MEAT. Get over it!
A wolf would eat you in 5 seconds if it was hungry. We’re all animals, that’s how the animal kingdom is set up.
Not just meat, endangered species meat. There’s a difference between chicken, cow and wolf.
Yeah, all animals are exactly the same. I eat chicken, so I should have the right to eat wolf. Or endangered elephants. Or high school students — they’re really obnoxious, and I think they are over-populating their environment. Nobody who eats fish or chicken or beef has a right to tell me I can’t eat humans! If I have a gun and the high school student does not, I should be able to kill and eat him. Or better yet, use a lethal trap. That’s the way the animal kingdom is set up.
So true 😉
Instead of the high school student, why not go for the older human idiot? That will help stop the breeding of those high school students you hate so much; and, also lower the over-population of the human species that encroches and destroys the eco-friendly system. They might taste a little gamey, but marinating should help.
Well, I guess it’ll be steak for dinner tonight–yay! My personal policy whenever I hear something moronic about PETA is to be sure to eat red meat that day.
And I guess I’ll have to go see that movie, as well, although I hadn’t planned to.
I liked him until reading this. Wolves were an endangered species and still should be, imo. And he ate wolf? There is no going back from that for me. I hate it because I have enjoyed him as an actor, but from now on won’t watch any movies of his. Eating endangered animals isn’t the same as eating squirrel; I’d say the same thing had he eaten gorilla or bog turtle.
He recently said that he found his experience of Islam a peaceful religion, in Turkey out of all places (a country not admired for its human rights record) This observation when the world is currently experiencing many threats from terrorists justifying their actions using this religion.
He sure as hell should shut his mouth when he is promoting his films because nothing smart comes out of it.
But you know, there are some fanatics of Liam who’d forgive him, even if he said he was as cannibal.
Are we really going to get into this whole all Muslims are terrorists or all terrorists are Muslim-debate right now? Come on! There are alot worse things he could’ve said than that he found Islam to be a peaceful religion. (Which it isn’t entirely. None of the Monotheistic religions are).
My point is that he opens his mouth and utters things that are completely unnecessary, without even thinking. It appears that thinking isn’t one of his strong points.
As for religions, they’re all stuffed up, but as far as I can see, in my country, there are no other religious that plot bombings apart from extremist Islamists.
Apart from terrorists, you mean 😉 The IRA have bombed plenty of places and they’re Catholic. Look up ”In the Name of the Father”. Great film about that featuring Daniel Day-Lewis.
If an individual or group is known more for their over-the-top antics than their mission statement, it’s time to re-think that image. The focus is on them, not their purpose, and that is something they should be fighting against.
A lot of people don’t take them seriously, and that is a true shame because they do some very good work. Just viewing one video of the many they have made by risking their own safety to expose the truth is worth a million times more than them calling out a celebrity on their personal behavior.
Celebrities are not the moral compasses of society, and we shouldn’t take anything they do, good or bad, as a testament on the way we should live.
I feel that at times PETA ignores what their true mission is. To find and bring attention to all forms of animal cruelty. I hope they rectify this, the work they do is important, and respectable. But, you wouldn’t know it from the way they act sometimes.
Very well said.
I don’t care for PETA, but I’ve been boycotting his films for a little while now.
Terrible actor, and that’s not a big deal, there are a few of those who just star in films for the money (e.g. Clash of the Titans), but he comes out with such silly comments lately that I do have to wonder about his intellect.
And if they did use real wolf carcasses in the film then I hope the film is boycotted in droves and goes straight to DVD. That way, Neeson becomes less bankable as an actor.
A number of people have said they have no problem eating meat as long as the animal was killed humanely. I don’t understand it. When has killing ever been humane?
I really hate that peta delegitimise the animal rights movement with their shit. I am a vegan and in no way support ANYTHING that this stupid group does. I think you will find any serious vegan who believes in animal rights also disowns this group as absolute idiots.
I know a bunch of vegans who agree with your statement. You are not alone in that sentiment
That did it for me… I am out of the Liam fan club. Yuck. What a prick
