The wonder crusaders over at PETA Asia-Pacific have been crossing country borders nonstop for the sake of animals. Their efforts as of late have reached crowds of people in China and Australia, and even more individuals are tuning in via news circuits and the Internet. We say, rock it, PETA A-P! Of course, we fancy our readers to be in the know about everything animal rights—so we've compiled a few photos of our affiliate's latest efforts below. Enjoy!
PETA Asia-Pacific's naked holiday chicks assembled outside a KFC in Adelaide, Australia, where they encouraged bystanders to have a cruelty-free holiday. The brave ladies wore nothing but a banner that read, "Make It a Merry Chickmas: Boycott KFC!" The back of the banner read, "Turn Your Back on KFC Cruelty."  |
In Hong Kong, locals were greeted by sexy angels outside the Giorgio Armani flagship store. The wretched designer buys his rabbit fur from China—which is now the world's largest fur exporter. PETA Asia-Pacific's investigation of rabbit fur farms in China revealed that the fur industry there is one in which cruel practices—such as shooting animals in the head with electrical stun guns—are rampant.  |
The Asia-Pacific crew held another Armani demonstration, this time in Sydney, Australia. Activists held oversized posters of the designer sporting an extra-long Pinocchio-esque nose because he went back on his earlier promise to remove fur from his collections permanently. I guess when you're already an animal abuser, lying doesn't bother your conscience that much.  |
Now, don't those pics just make you want to get out there and do something? Well, get to it!

I commend PETA Asia-Pacific for its efforts. I suggest that they update the Pinnochio Armani posters so they reference cruelty to animals in some way. It is probably unclear to anyone who sees the protest what Armani lied about.

so to boycott kfc you have to be naked? i honestly don't get the naked thing. can you not make a point WITH clothes on? most men don't listen as it is, but add a naked female to the mix and i bet they'll be listening even less.

It's nice to see that PETA is taking a stand against wide-scale cruelty in particular. I think they need to get the info out there more because More people really need to knew the torture that animals are put through. I wish I could do more to help, but for now I help PETA through the toolbar i downloaded at www.give2network.com. All my searching and shopping benefits PETA, so it's my way of giving back.

Won't someone focus on the horrific treatments in the so called elephant training camps in Chitwan, Nepal. The sight of fire and the smell of burning elephant flesh is sickening as you enter th torture camp. The babies are taken away from their mothers and hog tied by all fours so they cannot walk or lie down, ever. Then as they try to move, fire is put in their face to terrify them into compliance. We all love our elephants but sometimes it might be better to be in an American zoo than in a Nepalese elephant torture training camp.
