AR-News: (US-ma)PETA To Hold Nude Protest

[Animalconcerns]

[from Harvard Crimson]

An animal-rights activist invited to speak at a course given by Lecturer
on the Study of Religion Brian C.W. Palmer ’86 is bringing, along with his
guest lecture, a protest potentially involving nudity to Harvard Square
next Monday.

Palmer, who is known for inviting prominent—and often
controversial—figures to Religion 1529, “Personal Choice and Global
Transformation” to be questioned by students, said that he invited Dan
Mathews, vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, to
the class because of Mathews’ novel ideas for animal rights activism.
...
Mathews said that after Palmer invited him to the class, he decided to
organize a demonstration dubbed “Fur Out: Love In” against the use of fur
clothing to take place on March 1, when he is scheduled to appear before
the class. Mathews said that he will put a large bed in the Square and
invite the public—with or without clothing—to get in bed.

“The point of the protest is skin,” Mathews said. “We have our own and we
don’t need the animals’ skin.”
