Peta offers to help kingfisher with new impotence Ad
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has sent a letter to Dr Vijay Mallya, chair of UB Group, which owns Kingfisher Airlines, with an offer that could help the debt-ridden carrier work its way back to financial solvency: PETA will pay the airline to paint large ads on the fuselages of its planes that read, “Want Good Times? Go Vegan. Meat Consumption Leads to Impotence”. A mock-up of what the ad would look like is as shown in image.
In addition to causing animal suffering on a massive scale, eating meat can lead to myriad illnesses and medical conditions, including impotence. Internationally recognised authority on sexual medicine and impotence Dr Sudhakar Krishnamurti has called India the “impotence capital of the world” – the condition affects more than 50 per cent of the nation’s men over age 40.
“More than just Kingfisher’s jets will be ‘taking off’ if Dr Mallya accepts PETA’s offer and helps spread the vital message that meat consumption leads to impotence”, says PETA India Chief Functionary Poorva Joshipura. “The best way to help animals, protect the environment and guarantee a successful ‘landing’ in the bedroom is to go vegan.”
Diets heavy in meat and dairy products have been closely linked to cardiovascular risk, and heart disease has been significantly correlated with erectile dysfunction. Medical science suggests that heart disease – and therefore erectile dysfunction – can be prevented or even reversed by eating healthy vegan meals. And according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, vegetarians are also less prone to cancer, diabetes and obesity than meat-eaters are – each of these diseases has also been linked to impotence.
Meat consumption is also responsible for an extraordinary amount of animal suffering. In today’s industrialised meat and dairy industries, chickens have their throats cut while they’re still conscious, fish are suffocated or cut open while they’re still alive on the decks of fishing boats and calves are taken away from mother cows within hours of birth so that the mothers’ milk can be sold.
