Animal rights campaigners PETA will go wild later this
year -- with a pornography website.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has long deployed
nearly-nude street activists to promote its campaign against the
wearing of leather, fur, or make-up tested on animals.
But a sex site called peta.xxx, due to be launched sometime
between November and December, will finally show campaigners in
their entire natural glory, says associate director of campaigns
Lindsay Rajit.
"We get as naked as we're able to legally. In most cities and
states that means you still have to wear pasties and some coverage
on the bottom," Rajit explained. "With the triple-x domain you
won't have those limitations."
However, viewers will also be confronted by the naked truth of
cruelty to animals, Rajit added.
"As soon as people land on the site they'll see some tantalizing
images.... But we will also have graphic images that people are not
necessarily looking for."
PETA activists, not porn artists, will feature on the site
"because they want to do everything they can to help the animals,"
Rajit said.
She dismissed criticism that PETA exploits women while trying to
save animals.
"We think every man and woman has every right to use their
voice, their pen, their body to help the animals."
