7/6/2002: Naked PETA at Pamplona



Slithy_Tove sends along this nice one that brings together a few IotD themes of the past: PETA, naked protestors, and international culture.

The Ananova story explains that the PETA folks want to tell the tourists that the bulls are kinda mistreated. They say the tourists would stay home if they knew that the bulls were hit with cattle prods and sticks to enrage them before the run. They say their eyes are smeared with petroleum jelly and their bodies are weakened by laxatives before the bullfights that follow.

I'm not sure I get that message from this protest though. The main message I get from this protest is that it must be fashionable for European women to shave their coochies.
