AR-News: (AU)When animal activists attack

[Animalconcerns]

Animal rights activists have announced a boycott of the Australian state
of Tasmania, threatening a local economy which is heavily dependant on
tourism.

The boycott has been announced by People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (Peta), a global organisation with over 800,000 members, including
pop star Chrissie Hynde (pictured) and the Liberal Democrat Environment
spokesperson, Norman Baker. It is protesting about the felling of native
forests to clear the way for plantations, a move that has been described
by a senior Australian politician as “an ecological disaster”.
