Norfolk, Virginia. – Tens of millions of Labor Day travelers will receive a social justice message from the RZA Wu-Tang Clan, which plays a starring role on PETA PSA, which is now televised at 75 major airports in the US, Canada and the UK. challenges specisism – the belief that, despite their extraordinary talents and abilities, all other species of animals are inferior to humans. As author Alice Walker wrote: “The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were no more made for humans than black men were made for whites or women were made for men. “
“It doesn’t matter if we have fur, feathers or fins,” says RZA as his face transforms into images of different men, women and other animals, from bears to birds and more. “We all have thoughts and feelings. … Our task should be to free ourselves from prejudices and see ourselves in every other. “
Species is used to justify keeping exclusively social primates in steel laboratory cages; killing billions of cows, chickens, pigs and other people for food; mutilation of sheep for their wool; and make tigers do stunts. PETA encourages everyone to fight this systematic harassment by buying cosmetics that have not been tested on animals, choosing vegan food and fashion, staying away from animal circuses, and otherwise rejecting animal exploitation.
Ads run through October 5 at major airports in dozens of cities, including Chicago (O’Hare), Los Angeles (LAX), New York City (JFK, LaGuardia and Newark) and London (Gatwick and Heathrow).
PETA’s motto is, “Animals are not ours to experiment, eat, carry, use for fun or otherwise abuse.” For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
