    London Underground.

    Tbh hard to tell if thats just your normal muddy / dirty pig or the dirt and grime which covers everything on the London underground? From first hand experience pigs love to wallow in mud and get themselves nice and dirty to keep the flies off etc - so I'll go for the first one. I've came across some really fantastic free range pig farms in the UK with really high welfare standards - where they are a relatively common sight in the countryside. Never seen such happy pigs tbh :)

    I also see that the govegsn promotion unit now appear to have some competition from 'switchtovegsn'? Some other bunch coming up with the slogans now? Though the website detailed doesnt appear to exist? Certainly there doesn't seem to be as many as previous...

    Lol - afaik my stats show approx just 3 posts a day & haven't posted here in nearly three weeks. Is that a lot? Not that's relevant to you or the other usual few who seem to prefer to attack the poster. Fairly pathetic really ...

    If you like there are a bunch of posters on boards with well over half a dozen posts a day - maybe you'd like to highlight them for being lazy arsed ****es as well?

    Why is it someone comments on a post here and bizarrely some don't like that. Why is that pt?

    Tbh I always find the following a useful guide to constructive discussion. Maybe that's just me though. From the boards.ie faq page...
    Comment on the post not the poster.
    Responding to someone's point with personal attacks, regardless of how "witty" you think they are, is not big or clever. It just comes across, at best, as being an ass and at worst a bully with a small doodah (we mean “mind” of course).

    It’s much better to stay on the topic of their post, not on the person who posted it. People will respect you for that, take your opinion more seriously, and you put the ball back in their court to answer your points.

    Abuse is tantamount to saying, "You have beaten me with your argument; I can only resort to name calling."

    Interesting poster that Tilikum. WWJD - Which if my tour of the bible belt (when I was in the US) stands for "What Would Jesus Do". That and the quoted commandment (with the added bit) makes it appear that the billboard campaign has gone a bit religous no?

    I'd like to know the location. If it's a conservative part of America or Australia it is probably just playing to the audience as there is plenty of videos out of there of people using god and bible as their reason for eating meat

    On my walk home from work yesterday, I saw a large Go Vegan World anti-dairy billboard on a street just off Barrack Street in Cork City (as you go up the hill). I was delighted to see it. :-)

    Saw one at a bus shelter this morning myself in Galway. A dairy one.

    Just a question for you.
    Who is the target of that ad?
    Is it joe soap who's putting stewing beef in their shopping basket
    Or is it people like yourself, to reinforce your ideas?

    Saw that yesterday too,
    It was the "dairy takes calves from their mother" one, personally I'd love to add "and then eats them.... Hhhhmmmm steak"
    Just so we're all on the same page...

    I don't need my ideas reinforced. I'm happy to see the sign as it might get people thinking more about their food choices.

    I don't particularly like the ads, (and I am a meat eater), but I can see where you're coming from about thinking more about the origins of the food we eat, and why we eat it...
    No bad thing...

    Emm...Berlin?
    Either it's not berlin or the ad agency forgot to translate it

    I think the added text is the only passive aggressive aspect in this image. The message on the billboard only allows readers to objectively break the stereotype.

    They didn't forget, it's a deliberate strategy that they advertise in English.
