Sculptor Antony Gormley has launched a new artistic endeavor, the One & Other project, in London. He's recruited 2,400 "living sculptures" to stand atop the famous "Fourth Plinth" in Trafalgar Square. Each person gets an hour on the 8-meter-high plinth (which is usually used to display artwork) to do whatever he or she would like—and one lucky PETA Europe supporter was granted a place!

Natalie Simpson sparkled as a sultry mermaid who asked people to go vegetarian.

We're so proud of Natalie for daring to show a little skin in order to save the skins scales of other thinking, feeling beings. If you want to be like Natalie and stand up for animals, take our Pledge to Be Veg for 30 Days and give a fish-friendly diet a try.

This is very timely...I just read about Coastal Maine's annual Codfish Race, in which firefighters race across a field clutching a dead, greased 20lb codfish...
Apparently a drunken brawl broke out at this event, which does not surprize me since one would have to be pretty baked to think this something like this is entertaining.
Perhaps PETA could turn up at next year's event (I don't know if PETA was there this year) to educate the public about sea kittens.

In England Coastal Maines Cod Fish race,Bull fighting in spain and EU and Queens gurads wearing bear skin would be called "Mindless Morons".
Thanks be to God and Goddess that we have humane,kind and educational and caring and tireless group PETA for soldiering on to civilise the world at home and abroad.
If I were warren buffet or Bill gates ,I would donate a billion dollars to Peta to spread the Good Gospel of GO VEGAN,GO VEGETARIAN AND SAVE MOTHER EARTH AND ALL ITS INHABITANTS AND BE THNAKFULL FOR LIFE AND LIVING AND LVE AND LET LIVE

I think that this is a very good demonstration on the Fourth Plinth. I think that it could have been slightly more eye-catching, with a bit more going on, but it still sends out a positive & educational message. Well done PETA & Natalie Simpson!! :)
