PETA Protest Against Mousetraps

(Gainesville, Florida) About a dozen activists with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) protested outside a Lowe's store against the sale of glue mousetraps.

Twenty-nine-year-old Carmen Cusack demonstrated her outrage by lying on a giant mousetrap wearing only a bikini.

“All I could think about while I was lying there freezing was that there are mice all over Gainesville in the same position,” she said. “But PETA’s going to buy me lunch, and those animals are going to starve.”

The demonstration was one of five stops this week on PETA’s tour of Lowe’s stores across Florida and Georgia.

Animals stuck in these traps often suffer for days, eventually dying of dehydration and starvation, said Ashley Byrne, PETA campaign coordinator.

Man, do these people need a life or what? This is the dumbest take-it-to-the-streets initiative I've heard of. What's next? Compassion for cockroaches?
