�Ave Maria!
In their zest to free the bulls from being victimized by hundreds of Pamplonians annually, the PETA folks did something about this....NAKED


This story was carried by the notorious BBC News Agency!
quote:
Animal rights activists, including some from the organisation PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) stripped naked in the town on Saturday to protest at both bull running and bull fighting.

The demonstrators were hoping to run naked down the bull run.

Most were prevented by police, but some breached security lines to complete the course, flanked by hundreds of clothed demonstrators along the way.


Spain can be a wild and wooly place, like West Virginia! :jeje: :jeje:

p.d. Jer, were you in Pamplona yesterday?
Eeker

Anyway...

the ads those people are holding are written in Italian:

"Scegli di essere umano" = "Choose to be human"

I've never heard of PETA in Italy so I don't know why they're in Italian, but, anyway, just to translate... Smiler

I think "PETA" is short for "PETARDOS".

From the RAE DICTIONARY...

quote:
petardo, da.

1. m. y f. despect. coloq. Persona o cosa pesada, aburrida o fastidiosa. No aguanto a tu amiga. Es una petarda.
:jeje: :jeje: :jeje:

Saludos,

Some people say running with the bulls is dangerous...

Running with the bulls is MUCH safer than driving on the freeway during rush hour with all the SUV-driving, cell phone-yacking bimbos (of both genders)!

Actually, those weren't "PETA" activists, they were drunk folks from New Zealand who were misinformed about the annual Running of the "Balls". Roll Eyes

The funny thing is that is great publicity for the event. All kinds of people who might not otherwise go, will go in the future!
