A global animal rights group is trying to rent out a billboard in Hamilton, Ont., after one local woman kept her husband’s body for six months while she prayed for his resurrection.

PETA said in a news release Thursday that it’s working with advertisers to post a billboard that will read: “Are there corpses in your home? Time to go vegan.”

“If you have chicken breasts, steaks, or bologna in your refrigerator, we have news for you: You’re sharing your home with corpses,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk was quoted as saying in the release.

Earlier this week, Kaling Wald was sentenced to 18 months probation and counselling after she pleaded guilty to failing to notify authorities of her husband’s death.

“I think my client would personally find [the billboard] offensive,” Mrs. Wald’s lawyer, Peter Boushy said Thursday. But, he noted that freedom of expression is “very healthy for our democracy.”
