PETA protestors strip down to raise awareness

12:49 PM CST on Friday, January 28, 2005

By Kevin Peters / KVUE News

Dressed only in underwear and cleverly placed signs, four Peta volunteers bared all on a blow-up bed on the corner of 6th and Congress Thursday.

They camped out for about 45 minutes while on-lookers and others gawked.

The activists are trying to raise awareness about alleged abuses in the fur trade.

PETA contends the animals are abused and suffer physical and psychological distress.

One PETA volunteer says sometime you have to take "drastic action" to get people to pay attention to their cause.

The exhibition is part of PETA's 'Fur-Out! Love-In!' campaign.
