Veggielovers barely escape arrest

A COUPLE of vegetarians narrowly avoided arrest in Dublin yesterday for a display of bare-bottomed cheek.

The incident arose after two US members of the animal welfare group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), stripped down to their underwear to promote vegetarianism in Dublin city centre.

The pair, Bethany Walker and Ravi Chand from Virginia, proceeded to hug and kiss on a makeshift bed at the junction of Henry Street and O’Connell Street, while another member of the group held up a banner proclaiming “Vegetarians make better lovers”.
