CCF Crashes PETA's Bird-Flu Party
This afternoon in front of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, the vegetarian-only zealots at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) tried to inflame the public’s fear of bird flu with a dishonest display that included mostly-naked protesters in black coffins. But the Center for Consumer Freedom stole their thunder with our own coffins -- dedicated to the thousands of cats and dogs that PETA itself has killed. The Associated Press photo wire is already carrying a snapshot of our counter-protest, and a few more are below.
