Photos: PETA Takes A Shower At Union Square

Cassandra Callaghan and Colleen Higgins are taking showers all over the state for PETA. Fresh from Fresno, the pair (aided by two other well-heeled PETA ladies) set up a stall on the corner of Geary and Powell at around 2 p.m., stripped out of their matching white robes and bathed beneath a large water bag.

"You can save more water by not eating one pound of meat than you can by not showering for six months," said campaign coordinator Ashley Byrne as another member of the team passed out "vegetarian starter kits" (which were a little scary to this carnivore). *As for those numbers, the folks at the Center for Consumer Freedom beg to disagree.

Sacramento's the next stop for the traveling stall. Click the image above for a start-to-finish slideshow detailing this afternoon's spectacle. The tourists were never so happy to have those point-and-shoots. But whether or not this was really necessary or whether San Francisco, where nudists run wild, was the place for the statement is beyond us. --Janine Kahn

PETA's numbers are all wrong.

The amount of water it takes to produce a pound of beef is only equal to 18 ten-minute showers, according to the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, a nonprofit research organization staffed by university scientists.

But if these PETA chicks are only showering 18 times every 6 months, Union Square is a good place to catch up. PHEW!

Yawn - PETA girls in bikinis and the MSM gets page hits for using the word "nude".

Dannielle says:

PETAphile showering in public? They've been taking a Blood Bath for years in private.

No amount of Irish Spring is ever going to wash away the evil done by PETA in their quest to drive the family dog and cat into extinction.

Ridiculous stunts by attention seeking sycophants are not bringing down PETA's staggering 97% Kill Rate- a slap in the face to a city who pioneered NO KILL successfully.

It's time for PETA to come clean. A good starting point would be to withhold your donations from a group who euthanizes adoptable animals the second they acquire them and instead donate your money and time directly to a local shelter.

Oh girls- may I suggest you show a little more backbone and a little less skin? You might actually help an animal that way.

Nancy Daniels says:

I guess it's ok to exploit women and report false figures. Should we expect any less of PETA!

Someone needs to stop these people and get the word out about them! If PETA has it their way we will not be allowed to own pets and they are doing it one breed at a time!

Max says:

The whole organization of Peeta needs a shower

- their agenda really stinks to high heaven -

they have a 97% kill rate and lie to the public about their concern for animals...especially the welfare of pets.Peeta wants to end everyone's right to own, care for and love their pets.

Wake up people - if you really care about animals, and especially your own pets you will cease to support this foul and disgusting organization. Is a 97% kill rate of pups, kittens, dogs and cats your idea of care?
it is if you support PEEta.

Naked women showering in Fresno and San Francisco. Anyone impressed? It takes a lot more than two programmed post-pubescent girls to get my attention.

How about this? Imagine thinking you are surrendering your dog or cat to a shelter to learn later than Fluffy or Fido got a quick trip to a dumpster behind Piggly Wiggly. PETA did make you a promise, however, that your dog or cat would be adopted into new homes. Remember?

PETA "killed" 97% of the dogs and cats in their shelter last year. The group put to death over 90% of the animals it took in during the last five years. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no mercy ... and ... no sign of changing. Perhaps if they try really, really hard these young women can wash off the BLOOD from all of the animals that are victims of PETA's killing.

There is nothing "ethical" about PETA. They are a lobbying organization that has given tens of thousands of dollars to support animal rights terrorists more accurately certified by the FBI as "domestic terrorists." One such person is Rodney Coronado of Animal Liberation Front (ALF) infamy. Coronado's current home address is a federal prison ever since he was convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. And just a few days ago, UC Santa Cruz got a taste of "animal liberation" firsthand ... two firebombings. Someone's home (with two young children sleeping inside) and someone's car.

PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group’s overall goal as “total animal liberation.” This means no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting, no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals.

They have repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. Newkirk has said that “Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it.”

PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda often waiting outside their schools. Do you want these animal rights activists visiting your child? They intentionally gear many of their campaigns toward children with "young impressionable minds."

And these bathing beauties are shrouded in a banner that reads "Clean Your Conscience"?

Looks like a "no brainer" to me.

Firebombs. Death threats. Programs targeting young children. Medical research at jeopardy and lives at risk.

Have I gotten your attention yet? And I didn't even have to get naked and stand on a street corner or pull some other press-slut trick?
