London,
(ANI):
Lady
Gaga"s
choice
to
wear
meat
dress
at
MTV
Video
Music
Awards
is
now
being
linked
to
the
Beatles,
for
the
band
once
promoted
their
album
using
animal
flesh
on
cover.
In
1966,
the
Beatles
released
the
album
'Yesterday
and
Today" and
used
a
controversial
cover
dressed
as
butchers
and
draped
in
joints
of
meat
and
decapitated
baby
dolls.
In
1983
Punk
group,
the
'Undertones"
released
their
singles
titled
'All
Wrapped
Up"
with
a
female
model
covered
in
meat
whereas
rock
group
B.A.L.L
in
1988
also
promoted
their
music
albums
using
the
Bird
flesh.
However,
the
use
of
meat
to
promote
music
has
remained
controversial.
“Lady
Gaga"s
job
is
to
do
outlandish
things,
and
this
certainly
qualifies
as
outlandish
because
meat
is
something
you
want
to
avoid
putting
on
or
in
your
body.
No
matter
how
beautifully
it
is
presented,
flesh
from
a
tortured
animal
is
flesh
from
a
tortured
animal,"
the
Telegraph
quoted
Ingrid
Newkirk,
the
president
of
animal
rights
campaign
group
PETA.
“It
just
seems
totally
unnecessary.
Enough
animals
die
for
food
and
they
should
not
be
killed
for
stunts
like
this,"
a
spokeswoman
for
the
Vegetarian
Society
added.
