US / PETA PETA's Weirdest Stunts of the Year From chicken costumes to fake blood, it was another vocal year By Matt Cantor, Newser Staff Posted Dec 31, 2010 12:39 PM CST Copied Members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals protest outside NBC Studios in Burbank, Calif. on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2009. (AP Photo/Matt Sayles) PETA’s not into subtlety when it comes to demonstrations against animal cruelty. AOL News offers some highlights from the past year: A barely-dressed couple frolicked on an outdoor bed in Nashville to assert that vegans were better lovers. The group’s London branch called on a team of pregnant women to perch on all fours in cages. Message: Don’t eat farmed meat. A crowd of PETA members decorated with fake blood and soot lay on the ground in Pamplona, Spain, to decry the running of the bulls. PETA got out the fake blood again to drench protesters in Times Square. They were packaged like meat to say “when you eat meat, you are eating a corpse.” Also in Times Square, dwarves in chicken costumes marched in front of McDonald’s. Their battle cry: “Cluck you, McDonald’s!” See the rest of the top 10 at AOL News. (More PETA stories.) Report an error
