These representatives of P.E.T.A. (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) were demonstrating at the Cherry Creek Mall in Denver, Colorado on February 24th.
I can appreciate their right to protest in the nude against those that prefer to wear fur. They missed a great opportunity in scheduling, they should have been in Anchorage for the Fur Rendezvous. With the temperatures ranging in the low teens to 15 below zero, they would have been able to better express their points.
I find this picture a little hypocritical, what is with the gloves? If you are going to protest in the nude, why cover your hands? They had best not be Virgin Wool gloves!
This is the same organization, a different model and costume. What is an exotic animal? If there is a difference in animals between being exotic and non-exotic, then it must be permissible to keep non-exotic animals in zoos. I would like to see a list of what may or may not be retained. Why is a leopard more important than a pig? Are they not all creatures of nature, just as we are? How many of our children can take trips to the exotic wilds to see the animals, they cannot even go to Canada or Mexico without a passport. The only time that I have seen a leopard laying in a tree and smiling is right after they have devoured a gazelle!
We can not wear the animal, we cannot place them into controlled environments, and now the same organization is telling us we cannot eat them! This demonstrator is wearing a "head of lettuce", wasn't it lettuce that killed several people last fall from being contaminated by e-coli? I forget but how many people died in the U.S. last year from mad cow disease - oh, now I remember there were none. I enjoy a good lettuce salad on occasion, but at least she could have accessorized it with a few cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and a good wallop of blue cheese dressing.
I have several "thoughts to ponder" pertaining to these particular protest campaigns:
1. Why is it the models are always beautiful, sexy women?
2. Don't ladies in the mid thirties to eighties feel the same way towards animals?
3. Why don't we ever see nude or provocative posed man in these protest marches?
4. Where are the feminists advocates?
5. Are we not "exploiting" these women to protest the "exploitation" of animals?
6. Are animals more important than the female gender of the human race?
7. Why are they posing in the nude, women quite wearing fur undergarments a few years ago.
The next time you hear about a PETA protest in the buff, would someone please call me so I can attend and "oogle" the protesters!

The PETA girls did miss the perfect opportunity to make their point, I know cause my points are under several layers and they still want to be heard.BRRR....
As for exotic animals...what is an exotic animal to someone in the Jungles of South America? A moose?
Last year i believe we had a playboy bunny in a bikini protesting Kentucky Fried Chicken? does that count?
Points well made! You posed yet another point to ponder about the moose? Yur other point, I did not know you could "link" in the comment section, everythng I know I have learned from you! I did check out the link, there is a lot to check out on that site and Ihighly recommend it for other readers. Again, I wonder, "chicks" protesting KFC in their little yellow bikinis in the middle of winter, so much exposed flesh but two of them are wearing ear muffs! If I were to do that, it would not be my ears that I was afraid of frost biting! Strange, but cute!
