Animal rights group protest:

CALGARY (CP) - A woman dressed in a tiger suit squeezed into a cage littered with dirt and rotting food Thursday to protest the licence renewal for a private Alberta zoo criticized for how it treats its animals.

Christian right protest.

Pastor David Bayly spent two weeks in Pinellas Park, Florida outside the gates of Woodside Hospice. He went there with a pastor friend, and the friend was arrested for trying to give Schiavo water.

There’s really not enough creativity on the Christian right. Animal rights groups have wonderfully creative protests, such as this guy being crucified in a pig mask. Fundamentalists, what, go on a hunger strike?

Since Terri Schiavo passed away today, the fundamentalists have lost their best chance for topping the animal rights lunatics. Really though, they weren’t even trying. Did we see headwear covered in blood with a gavel attached? Masses of feeding tubes dumped outside the hospice or court house? No, and those are just what I can think of. I wouldn’t have thought of crucifying myself while wearing a pig mask. While sending the state police to kidnap someone in a vegetative state would certainly show dedication, it’s not that interesting. I want creativity!
