We Want You to Ponder While You Vomit
Last week we sent out hundreds of volunteers wearing prosthetic naked buttocks which looked bloodied and beaten to a pulp. This was to illustrate how wool-producing sheep are being mistreated. We could have passed out pamphlets, held public forums or even picketed. But it's not enough to make you think about animal rights; we have to make you puke about animal rights.
Anyone can see a display on the mistreatment of seals and walk on by, forgetting about it quickly. But if we can get just one person to stop in front of our booth to vomit because they are covered in "guts" exploding from a very life-like baby seal getting beaten to death, then we are starting to get somewhere. We pass out our "no fur" sick bags, wipe their mouths with the "Save the Whales" handkerchiefs, and rinse the puke out of their mouths from one of our "Don't Eat Chicken" water bottles and really give them something to think about.
And there are indirect advantages as well. There is not a PETA volunteer alive who can't tell you one hopeful story of a person trying to dodge our demonstration and slipping in puke. Lying there gives them an eye- and earful of our cause and plenty to ponder as they are waiting for the paramedics to come treat their head wounds. And for every person who arrives at home, work or the dry cleaners with a vomit-covered garment, word of our struggle spreads that much further.
Yes, our volunteers wear other people's sick like a badge of honor. Come back to the headquarters as if you've been diving in a swimming pool of gak, and we know you're a hero. They say the way to the heart is through the stomach. No one believes that more than we do here at PETA.
