BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT (WWLP) The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or Peta, is known for holding "bare-it-all" protests. Until now, they couldn't actually go nude. That changed when protesters went to Brattleboro, Vermont, where clothing is optional. Peta volunteers protested naked in downtown Thursday, with a banner that donned their message, "Bare Skin Don't Wear Skin". Onlookers gawked, snapped photos, and rolled their video cameras for about an hour while the girls posed along Main Street.
"Animal rights issues are depressing and they lose air time to racier headlines so if we make our animal rights issue racy and get the coverage that we need and make people hear our message, then it's certainly working," said protester Ali Cayer.
There was nothing police could do because Brattleboro is a clothing-optional town. The selectboard enacted a nudity ban over the summer, but it was lifted in September.

Yes, Brattleboro is a clothing optional town! Last summer the City Council passed an ordinance after residents complained about an "ungly old naked guy" hanging out in the downtown area which made people dress but it was recinded a couple of weeks ago as cooler weather set in. I've had to do some work up there but never noticed any public nudity in that granola community.

I love animals.... They're delicious.

some of them might be good looking but, I would never trust them in the dark near my sausage.

The only cool thing Peta has ever done. Now the only thing I think of when I hear Peta is that crazy fire-bush broad Lacy from "Rock of Love".
