Jackson, Miss. -- Wearing nothing but little panties, two PETA beauties will stand behind a banner that reads, "Bare Skin—Don't Wear Skin," in downtown Jackson on Tuesday.
When: Tuesday, January 8, 12 noon
Where: Corner of S. Congress and E. Capitol streets, Jackson
"By showing some of our own skin, we hope that people will consider letting animals keep theirs," says PETA beauty Hayley Ray, who will lead the traffic-stopping demonstration.
Why all the fuss over what to wear? Fashion guru Tim Gunn lays it on the line in PETA's video short, which shows how animals who are killed for their fur are electrocuted, poisoned, or gassed or have their necks broken. Cows who are slated to be killed for their skins endure painful mutilations and physical abuse on factory farms and cruel treatment during transport and slaughter. Snakes have hoses rammed into their mouths and are pumped full of water so that workers can more easily cut off their tightened skin while they're still alive.
