Jeremiah Cornelius's Journal: Should PETA Turn Jeffrey Dahmer's Home into Vegan Restaurant

PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, proposes that the former home of convicted murderer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer be turned into a vegan restaurant called, "Eat for Life -- Home Cooking." "Rather than remaining as a stark reminder of it dark past, the building can instead become the site of a celebration of culinary compassion. Like Dahmer's human victims, cows, pigs, and chickens are made of flesh and blood and fear for their lives when confronted by a man with a knife... The difference is that when Dahmer was caught, his killing spree ended. Today, however, more than 30 billion animals are slaughtered in the U.S. every year in similarly gruesome ways for food." Is this statement just callous appropriation of a terrible human tragedy for political opportunity, by those who claim to be motivated by deep compassion?

It's hard to raise the stupid & grotesque to a

However, I think PETA just did.

Really? It's 2104, I could find a dozen worse examples by flinging a dart out my window. Hell, even by PETA standards, this one doesn't even rank.
