    "Peta" means "farted" in French.

    Just thought you all ought to know that...

    How about an animatronic foot up their collective asses? :mad:

    Turn the whole festival into Disney Hillbilly Bears or Chuck E. cheese while they're at it!

    This makes sense.

    If a robotic animal is used, no one will know Peta put the real one to sleep in a shelter.

    When I was much younger, I was a member of PeTA for a while. Then I found out who they really were and the behind the scenes shenanigans they caused, and I got the hell out of dodge.

    Yeah, and then people for the ethical treatment of robots are around the corner. :nono:

    Reminds me of when PETA was complaining about the flopping fish at the end of Faith No More's "Epic" video circa 1990. When the band was interviewed about it and I think it was Billy Gould who responded to the criticism...."But the fish has the right to be filmed". There was just no comeback to that.
