TORONTO – PETA is mulling the installation of a billboard in Hamilton, Ont., to compare a recent court case where a woman left a corpse in her home for six months in anticipation of resurrection to keeping meat in your home.
The animal rights group said in a press release it is mulling a billboard that would read, “Are there corpses in your home? Time to go Vegan.” The press release goes on to say, “corpses could be hidden in plain sight” in people’s refrigerators.
“If you have chicken breasts, steaks, or bologna in your refrigerator, we have news for you: You’re sharing your home with corpses,” PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said in the press release.
“People who are horrified, saddened, or surprised by the thought of cohabitating with a corpse should ask themselves how they can justify taking the lives of wonderful individuals who happen not to be human, and try going vegan.”
On Monday, Kaling Wald, 50, pleaded guilty to failing to notify police that her husband had died, according to the Hamilton Spectator.
A foreclosure company found the body while trying to evict the Wald family in September 2013. According to the Spectator, Peter Wald, Kaling’s husband, probably died in March and had suffered from an untreated diabetic sore on his left foot. The agreed state of facts, which was read in court Monday, said he refused to go to the hospital, believing God would cure him.
For the next six months, Kaling’s family reportedly prayed Peter would be resurrected.
“We were trusting God…we thought, ‘OK Lord, you know better,’” Kaling told The Spectator. “That was how strong our faith was.”
