PETA takes a pie in the face

ST. JOHN'S, N.L.
PETA had earlier warned that it would protest the Canadian seal hunt during the Harper event.
Instead, PETA got a taste of its own tactics as one of its seal hunt protesters had a pie pushed into her face.
The PETA protester was wearing a seal suit, waiting for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to arrive for a speech when a man in a yellow dog suit (A seal hunt supporter) came up to her and shoved a cream pie into the woman's face.
The person wearing the yellow outfit was an employee of K-Rock, a private FM radio station in St. John's, who contacted PETA in the morning and offered to help with the protest.
Shortly after the protest began, the K-Rock emplyee started denouncing PETA and its protests in front of the cameras.

Earlier in the week PETA was happy to take credit for hitting federal Fisheries Minister Gail Shea in the face with a pie to protest her support for sealing.

Back in July we asked our readers how you felt about eating seal meat.

7% don't eat meat and 32% refused to eat seal because you believe it's a cruel industry.
