] "A year after promising to temper its often graphic
] messages in light of the Sept. 11 attacks, People for the
] Ethical Treatment of Animals, the nation's largest animal
] rights group, has prepared a "turkey terror" commercial
] that draws on Americans' fear of terrorism.
]
] The new television campaign, scheduled to run through the
] holiday season, depicts a terrorist takeover of a
] supermarket. The store manager is shown bound and gagged,
] with shoppers cowering, as an unseen hostage taker warns
] that "innocent creatures" will be beaten, scalded and
] dismembered if anyone resists.
]
] The commercial eventually reveals the "terrorist" to be a
] turkey puppet with a demand that people stop eating meat.

The War on Turkey Terrorism has begun. Next on CNN.
