PETA’s founder to leave behind grisly bodily gifts upon her death
PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk has announced her desire to leave behind a grisly set of assets upon her death. This includes a luxury handbag made from her skin, her lips to be delivered to the US president, and parts of her bowel gifted to Salt Bae.
As Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara famously showed in his last moments, the ultimate statement of defiance can sometimes be made in death.
This belief is one evidently shared by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) founder Ingrid Newkirk, who wishes to divvy up parts of her body to be sent as grisly gifts for several key public figures upon her passing.
News of Newkirk’s revised will was announced by the organisation on Monday, along with a list of beneficiaries and a macabre diagram displaying the activist’s likeness.
A series of labels point to different body parts like a sort of grim buffet, each featuring a recipient, detailed instructions, and the reasoning behind every decision.
