The AP reports fr0m Anchorage:
The Rev. Jason Armstrong was confused by an e-mail this week from PETA, which admonished him for subjecting animals "to cruel treatment and danger," by forcing them into roles in the church's annual manger scene. . .
He was mainly confused because they don't use real animals:
"We have some puppet camel things we put out," Armstrong said. "We have a cow hood thing that a person will wear that actually just looks spooky."
Yay, it's been a while. Two WTHNBSITPO candidates in one post!!
"We have some puppet camel things..."
"We have a cow hood thing..."

You're going to have to translate, Craig.

Wearing a spooky cow hood thing is a perfectly fine alternate lifestyle choice.. and people that choose that lifestyle should not be discriminated against.. You go PETA !

Looks like PETA is protesting by bombardment, sending out the same protest letter to every church that announces a "live nativity" without checking to see if they use animals or not. You can move a lot of paper if you don't bother to check the facts of each case.

Right Miss C. It's one of the things I dislike about self-righteous crusader types. They tend to lump people together and not treat them as individuals.
