Nude PETA women showered together on 2nd St. today | Mar. 23

On 2nd St. in Belmont Shore today: Two PETA ladies naked behind a banner that read, "Clean Your Conscience: Go Vegan! 1 lb. of Meat Equals 6 Months of Showers." The two showered together on the sidewalk in Belmont Shore (Long Beach) in celebration of World Water Day. The women wanted consumers to know that the best way to conserve water and to help the environment is to go vegan. Their press materials said: "Going vegan is an easy way to cut down on personal water usage, and it's the best thing that anyone can do to help stop animal suffering. According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegan foods instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than half a million cars off U.S. roads."
