Love it or Hate it - Nudity Gets Attention, for Animals!

Braving the cold this afternoon, five sexy PETA activists stripped off nearly naked and urged foie gras-peddling Selfridges to ‘Have a Heart’ for ducks and geese this Valentine’s Day. The topless girls (including model Monica Harris) and one dishy guy handed out delicious vegan chocolates and roses to passers-by who just couldn’t help but stare – and take photos on their mobile phones, of course!

Selfridges continues to sell foie gras, despite the fact that competitor House of Fraser and no supermarket in the UK will stock the “fatty liver”. In the production of this diseased product, a mixture of up to 4 pounds of grain, maize and fat is pumped into the stomachs of ducks and geese through a pipe several times a day. That’s like cramming 45 pounds of pasta down our own throats each day. Ouch. Needless to say, this makes the birds extremely ill and many are unable to move. In fact, death rates during force-feeding are as much as 1,000 to 2,000 per cent greater than normal!

Come on everyone, get commenting good or bad all comments are welcome!
