DALLAS — PETA’s internationally renowned "I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign will hit Dallas today, when PETA’s bevy of sexy nude activists will climb into a giant bed and hold signs that read, "Fur—Out, Love—In," to take their message of compassion in fashion to consumers for Valentine’s Day.
Not provided by PETA
The fur trade has strangely had no effect on the liger population.
"Compassion is a big turn-on, but fur-wearers leave me cold," says valentine vixen and PETA member Joanne Sim. "By showing some of our skin, we hope to save animals’ skins."
Date: Wednesday, February 7
Time: 12 noon
Place: Outside Pegasus Plaza at the corner of Akard and Main Street.
UPDATE: See a full photo gallery here of the event by going here.

My old colleagues at Texas Lawyer sent Unfair Park pictures proving this was a lame publicity stunt:

TL-ers? Where's the love?
The PETA people do this every year; always at Pegasus Plaza; generally in February. And it's always a big deal, because people never tire of hotties
They used to get naked-er. I snapped cameraphone pictures two years ago for D, but can't find it on their site.

Yep, it is a publicity stunt--to gain attention for the animals who are cruelly killed for fur.
Animals skinned for fur come from two places—fur ranches and trapping the animals in the wild. On fur ranches, animals lead miserable lives confined in small, filthy cages. They are cruelly killed by being gassed, suffocated, or by electrocution. They are electrocuted anally or through the mouth so that the blood doesn’t ruin the “clothes.”
Trapping animals in the wild for fur is not any more humane. There are many traps used to trap animals. One common trap is the steel-jaw leghold trap. This trap closes with bone-crushing force onto an animal. The animals often try to chew their own limbs off to escape. The traps also catch our companion animals such as dogs and cats. These traps are dangerous to children.

wmuboy:
I got no problem with that message, but I think PETA is missing the boat with the method. Tomorrow, all anyone will remember is naked chics. Not the animals being abused.
That's what makes it a lame stunt. I love effective publicity stunts.
I don't know how to make a more effective event for PETA: I'm still trying to figure it out for us. But I can recommend this book, which I'm currently reading and getting a lot out of:
