PETA In Saint John For Protest

The one thing you can't accuse People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals of is being boring. Two women representing the the group will shower on King Street at noon today behind a banner that reads "Clean Your Conscience.....Go Vegan."" Spokesperson Virginia Fort tells CHSJ News, the shower is to shine a spotlight on the water the meat industry wastes.
As for just how naked the ladies will be, Fort says they have checked with police and will be as naked as they can be in public according to the law. Fort says to process one pound of meat, 9000 litres of water is used which is equivalent to six months worth of showers. The shower show gets started at the top of King Street at noon.
