What a joke! It sounds like the public could’ve cared less about this ridiculous demonstration.

PETA stages faux death to protest fur
By GAYDA HOLLNAGEL | La Crosse Tribune
Three members of PETA simulated a murder of a woman for her fur coat in downtown La Crosse at noon Wednesday, but the faux violence drew only passing glances from passersby.
The lack of interest from the public may have been due to the cluster of television and newspaper reporters and photographers gathered to witness the act, which included a man bludgeoning a young woman and then stripping her of her coat as she lay on the sidewalk on the corner of Fourth and Main streets, outside of State Bank.
“It’s part of our ongoing anti-fur campaign,” said People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals activist Christy Griffin, who wore a video screen around her middle.
A video purporting to show animals being skinned alive at a fur farm in China prompted a TV camera operator to wonder whether Griffin’s outfit might be “bellyvision.”
The performance was re-enacted at least twice during the hourlong demonstration. According to advance publicity supplied by PETA, the idea behind the dramatization was to raise the question, “What if you were killed for your coat?”
Griffin said several people stopped by or accepted PETA fliers, and one man parked his car and walked back to the corner for a closer look.
Under the photo it mentions they are protesting against a Chinese fur farm that skins cats and dogs alive. 
Poor little fellers.
