PETA Rally in Washington

Only PETA knows how to draw public attention – plastic wrap half naked women in a pool of artificial blood, paint coat celebrities, or get them to pose nude. Last week, PETA hired a couple of gorgeous beauties in bird costumes to distribute egg-less sweets and pastries made from purely vegetarian ingredients, on the streets of Washington

PETA activists Ember TeGantvoort and Ashley Byrne, in playful costumes, even handed out booklets in which tell about a recent massive contamination of eggs with Salmonella. Last month, the the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. recalled 550 million eggs from farms around the country after a salmonella outbreak, which lead to 1,900 cases of salmonella poisoning.
