The Silence of the Bunnies

Oh man. PETA is really pissed at Donna Karan.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is going to protest on Seventh Avenue at Karan's offices during Fashion Week ~ that would be starting Saturday, February 12th ~ because she refuses to stop using fur in her fashions.

PETA has actually gotten a permit for their protest from the City of New York which includes the sounds of the screams of rabbits as they are being murdered. The noise will be blasted at a max of 75 decibels, the equivalent of loud singing.

Now what I want to know is who made these bunnies scream and how is that PETA recorded the mayhem? Did someone from PETA torture them to start the shrieking? How many are actually screaming?

Can't they go back to spray painting Karan's house in the Hamptons?

Turtle Bottle Necks

This kid held up an AirTran flight with her little turtle. I'm sure the other passengers were ecstatic.

First of all, I didn't even know there was an airline called AirTran. Maybe it was supposed to be AirTransit but they ran out of paint for the last few letters?

They have some 'rules,' one of which is that animals other than cats, dogs and household birds are barred from being in the cabin. So turtles are out. Personally, I'd prefer to fly with a turtle than a Rottweiler as my seat mate. Apparently turtles can carry salmonella according to the CDC. That's what AirTran claims anyway.

When the flight attendant saw the turtle in its cage, the flight was returned to the gate and the little girl was advised to 'get rid' of the turtle a/k/a throw it away.

What ensued is going to be the plot for a Disney movie so I'll let you wait till it's released. Let's just say that Carley Helm has been reunited with Neytiri and PETA is after AirTran.

Let the casting begin!
