PETA Wastes Water to Get People to Save Water (And Go Vegan)

As the very cute PETA Spokesperson Lauren Stroyeck told the Tulsa news media how much water is wasted to process meat, two PETA employees, Virginia Fort and Lauren Quillo, showered nude in downtown Tulsa. The group claims more water can be saved by skipping one pound of meat than skipping a half year of showers

Explaining the stunt, Stroyeck said, “Facts and figures alone aren’t usually enough to engage people but when they see two ladies showering on the sidewalk.”

As Fort and Quillo shower in the background, Stroyeck contimues, saying, “Over half the water in the United States goes to raising and killing animals on factory farms.”
