On February 28 th just days before mothers day, Peta launched a shock pr campaign to shock the mother's day shoppers into action.
Held in central convent garden around 1 pm a pregnant lady positioned on all fours in a tiny cage was unveiled to represent pigs which have been badly mistreated.
The message of the event was to make people go vegetarian, and with a combination of shock images and the closeness to mothers day to generate as much publicity and attention as they could.
Effective? or just plain stupid? this event generated some very strong mix opinions from the press, which nearly overrode the original message its self.
The shock protest did add a reality check to everyone about the treatment of animals but to use a pregnant women makes you think how little dignity she has for her self and her unborn child??
To do a naked protest is one thing, but to do it on a cold afternoon in early spring, whilst heavily pregnant makes you wonder whether it is a clever or a completely stupid idea?
Press coverage of the event was high with articles printed in national newspapers, but the message had very little difference in the peoples views to go vegetarian.
Has these images changed your views to go vegetarian?
