        <title>PETA again using sex to spread message - Bakosphere - bakosphere&apos;s Blog - Bakersfield.com</title>
        <link>http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/bakosphere/46417</link>
        <description>&amp;nbsp;The PETA&amp;nbsp;news release screams: &amp;quot;Dressed-to-kill nurse has run out of patience with meat-linked heart disease.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
Um, OK.&amp;nbsp;
But that&#039;s not enough. The &amp;quot;nurse&amp;quot; (aka &amp;quot;naughty Nightingale&amp;quot;) will set up shop outside Mercy Hospital on Truxtun Avenue at noon today to protest meat eating. And she (real name Virginia Fort)&amp;nbsp;will be wearing a &amp;quot;stethoscope and sexy nurse outfit (complete with a white minidress, knee-high stockings, and spiked heels), carrying a notepad to write &#039;prescriptions&#039; for a vegetarian diet, and holding a sign that reads, &#039;Bypass Heart Surgery--Go Vegan.&#039; &amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
There&#039;s more in the release, but here&#039;s our question: For every person PETA gets to quit eating meat from this stunt, how many will be injured because they&#039;re looking at the &amp;quot;naughty Nightingale&amp;quot; instead of the road as they drive by?</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Nothing new for them. &amp;quot;I&#039;d rather go naked than wear fur&amp;quot; and a few bikini clad protests outside of KFC. Wonder if someone will go throw a bucket of cholesterol on her?&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;No one denies that meat is an essential part of most people&#039;s diet.&amp;nbsp; But it&#039;s how we raise and slaughter the animals we eat that needs to be tightly regulated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I, for one, don&#039;t want to eat chickens that are confined to a space the same size as their body mass, or drink milk from (Happy) cows which stand in their poop all day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&#039;re the animal with the big brain.&amp;nbsp; Let&#039;s use it to find a solution, an ethical way to co exist with animals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for nurse Nightingale, I think her strip tease is more for her own advancement than it is for the advancement of ethical treatment&amp;nbsp;of animals.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
