MFA’s Pro-Vegetarian Billboards Rise in Denver

Nathan Runkle May 5, 2011

Vegetarianism is reaching new heights in Denver, Colorado this week with the launch of four new Mercy For Animals billboards.

Scattered throughout the greater Denver area, the pro-vegetarian billboards are giving millions of local residents some serious food for thought.

The first ad spotlights an adorable puppy and a loveable piglet sitting side-by-side and asks, “Why love one but eat the other?” Motorists are encouraged to “Choose Vegetarian” and visit ChooseVeg.com for additional information.

Guaranteed to provoke thought and discussion, the billboard features a heart-wrenching image of a sow locked in a tiny gestation crate.

Running for the next month, these important ads aim to open the hearts and minds of local residents to the nightmarish plight of farmed animals – hopefully inspiring compassionate citizens to choose kindness over cruelty at each meal by adopting a vegetarian diet.
