From the PETA website...

PETA’s New Comic for Kids - a Real-Life Horror Story!
PETA activists - including cuddly, costumed raccoons and foxes - are making guest appearances outside performances of The Nutcracker across the country this holiday season with a cheeky message of compassion. As children arrive to see the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy," some will be unaware that their mothers are already starring in a real-life horror story! PETA will be there to greet any fur-clad moms and their children with their newest anti-fur leaflet-PETA Comics presents..."Your Mommy Kills Animals!"
Kids will see the bloody truth behind their moms’ pretentious pelts. Accompanied by graphic photographs of skinned carcasses and animals languishing on fur farms, children will read: "Lots of wonderful foxes, raccoons, and other animals are kept by mean farmers who squish them into cages so small that they can hardly move. They never get to play or swim or have fun. All they can do is cry-just so your greedy mommy can have that fur coat to show off in when she walks the streets."

I think animals should be treated with respect and ethics, but these tactics are too extreme. I also saw a billboard they put up that was also aimed at children that was just wrong. It showed a cartoon Santa holding the front of his pants out so he can look down toward his 'package' and in big letters it says, "Santa isn't coming this year" and then something about Milk causing impotence. They need to get off the radical, piss people off by targeting your kids, hey we're getting press methodology.
