The radical animal rights activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have erected four billboards in New Hampshire asking, “If you choose to eat meat, why should I pay your hospital bills?” PETA says it hopes presidential candidates campaigning in the state will see “the need for a tax on meat” that could “pay for dietary education programs that would help reduce health care costs and save consumers’ and animals’ lives” and “pay for the meat industry’s huge detrimental effect on the environment.”
