JESSE MCCARTNEY - PETA TAKE AIM AT MCCARTNEY OVER MONKEY BRAINS CONFESSION

PETA TAKE AIM AT MCCARTNEY OVER MONKEY BRAINS CONFESSION

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."
