STEEL CAGE

Fort Worth, TX

There was a PETA protest against the circus today downtown and I went over during my lunch break. This lady was naked and painted like a tiger....the police made her put bikini bottoms on and she had to hold the sign to cover her up or she would have been caged at the city jail. What gets me is there were folks that were protesting wearing leather shoes and eating hamburgers. What about the cows that died for those shoes and lunch? I don't get it but it did make for a great photo op!

And, to be clear, I hate to see animals mistreated and don't like to see them caged up but I don't know if I'd go to the extreme of being naked on the street corner with kids walking by.

God put the animals on the earth for us to use, for food, clothing and shelter. If these folks have a problem with the Circus, then fine... oh... but don't take away my RODEO!!!

Cindi, you seem to have strange creatures in Texas ... but then that's what everyone in Oklahoma always says anyway ...

Is she that wild? Vµ

Well captured steel cage with some wild lady inside :)

Cool find. She is certainly making her point. Nice one for the challenge.

great catch!!!

I'm with you, Cindi. Let's farm animals with care but not let them suffer nor abuse them for our entertainment.

BTW - how can be sure you wouldn't like to protest naked in the street if you don't try it? Please post the pics to Pbase! ROTFL!

Intersting picture.

I agree with Ray. But it is a difficult discussion.
Anyway: a great idea to use this one for the challenge. Well done.
Guest 03-Jun-2009 03:25
I guess she would rather go naked....

Interesting story. as usual, a great shot that tells the story. and fits the theme.
Guest 03-Jun-2009 01:29
Interesting photo. Nice find.

Excellent image. It takes all types to give us life's full flavor doesn't it?

I suppose it's good that people get involved to "save the beast" and all that...wonder how they feel about child neglect, spouse abuse, hunger, the homeless, the elderly with no care...

It's a difficult topic...but one that I complete support.

Some real interesting street shooting Cindi; like that is some orange she's got going on (or off?) there - points are well taken too and everything has a line with blurry edges.

You know... after reading the front page of their website... I think they have a point.
And it looks like they found a wickedly provocative way to make that point in Ft. Worth, today.

Wild!
Guest 03-Jun-2009 00:35
Ok this is kind of different for you.... nicely captured! Jv

Too bad I'm allergic to cats!Is she house broken?

I'm guessing us eating meat (other animals) is how nature works, but keeping animals caged in just so we can see a spectacle is something different.
Still, a great addition to the theme :)
