Jesse McCartney Ate Monkey Brains!

Animal activists at PETA have lashed out at pop star Jesse McCartney after he confessed to eating monkey brains on a recent trip to Asia.


The singer/songwriter wasn’t fond of the idea of tasting the local delicacy, but admits it wasn’t a bad meal. He says,

“It was a little chewy and a little bland. It could have been seasoned a little bit more to tell you the truth.”

But PETA chiefs are far from impressed with the star’s adventurous appetite, and insist the singer should consider becoming a vegetarian.

Spokesman Michael McGraw says,

“You’d have to be bananas to eat monkey flesh, or any meat.

When it comes to the ability to feel pain and suffer, a monkey is no different from chickens, cows and pigs. All animals deserve respect, which is why PETA promotes a vegetarian diet.”

to add what a saddistic ritual this is – the monkey is tihtly attached in the center of the table screaming at the top of it’s frightened lungs as the people at the table hammmer his head to a bloddy stump and then eat from it. Asia, has no scrooples what so ever when it comes to food- no heart, no consicience. Period – my opinion, but valid. The fact that JMc even sat through the ritual says a lot about him. If he didn’t make the cash he makes what would he have grown up to be, a serial killer? People who feel, can’t eat this. It takes a very sick person to say, oh okay, I’ll try it. Shame Jessie, shame!

“attached in the center… screaming at the top of its frightened lungs…” so have you seen this in person? shit, you’d realize they dont have nerve receptors there, so you know what? they dont feel it. “asia, has no scropples what so ever when it comes to food-…” and a very valid opinion in response is that the white western world has no heart, no conscience to the outside world or people. waste management, exploitation of labor and oil, mass killings and America supporting subversive groups such as the Tibetans, etc. much more. oh, and if you haven’t realized, it is illegal in most countries in Asia, including China, and only happens illegaly. you incorrectly take one or few examples, and blindly apply it to half the world’s population? just cus jeffrey dahmer did what he did, do all westerners do the same ? and no, i dont eat monkeys, dogs, or the same. and just because you’re white (i assume), do you eat muslim soldiers?
