People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans to hand out this leaflet to 
older kids whose parents are wearing fur. Children’s Hospital’s Dr. Jeffrey 
Dolgan calls the idea "beyond insensitive."



The animal rights group PETA plans to hand out anti-fur fliers titled "Your 
mommy kills animals" to Denver children outside performances of "The 
Nutcracker." 
"Kids will see the bloody truth behind their moms' pretentious pelts," the 
website for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals explained. "Accompanied 
by graphic photographs of skinned carcasses and animals languishing on fur 
farms."
PETA spokeswoman Lisa Franzetta said Denver is among about 20 cities across 
the country where the group plans to pass out leaflets to children whose 
parents are wearing fur.
