Sexy Protesters Wear Their Hearts...

OK, well, that's pretty much all that these four lovelies from PETA Asia-Pacific were wearing outside the Manila Zoo, but they certainly drew the crowd's attention to their campaign to improve conditions for animals at the cramped, decrepit zoo.

The animals got a little time off from the gawkers, who instead turned their attention to the bikini-wearing beauties—and the issue of cruelty to captive animals.

She may be smiling for the cameras, but this gal knows that there's no happiness for animals at the Manila Zoo.

Thanks go out to these ladies and the rest of the team at PETA Asia-Pacific for their efforts to get the Manila Zoo to shape up its act.

We wouldn't need zoos in the first place if mankind wasn't so hell bent of destroying everything. We are like a plague we move into a place and wipe it out then move onto another instead of living at peace with the world.

Okay first of all I would like to adress the earlier commet by Robert. You DO know that there are POACHERS DISEASE and DESTRUCTION OF HABITAT where those animals came from right? How about instead of blaming zoos you go to Africa South America Siberia Russia and China. There you can make a difference where it matter instead of treating the symptoms of mass hunting habitat destruction and ongoing polution. Second I would like to thank Lindsey and Jackie for pointing out that zoos have saved many speicies and perhaps people should stop using women to attract people to their cause.

Hey have you ever actually been to a zoo or one of the talks that they do? the reason that zoos exist is no longer to just showcase rare animalsthat stopped like thirty years ago. I don't know if you are stuck on the past or what but zoos are waaay different now. They are used to show the different animals that exist and are endangered in the world. They bring awarness of the suffering endured by animals and captive breeding programs have saved species. What species you ask? Well one well known one is the peragring falcoln. Another is the black footed farrot. So how about instead of harrassing something you know nothing about you go to the zoo for one freakin' day and find out the truth. It you cans say that you have interveiwed zookeepers fairly and give all the information you find then maybe your blog will have the value of a golden coin instead looking like a pile of cow crap.

I think that this was kind of cute and tasteful. No nakedness here. Animals belong in the wild. Maybe there can be some other way to show or teach children about animals in their environment besides zoos.

I do agree that zoos unfairly exploit animals BUT be sure not to confuse wildlife refuges preserves and reserves with zoos. These are places for exotic animals bred in captivity as pets or in zoos injured animals who will never be able to return to nature animals on the brink of extinction etc. Be sure to do your research before you act out these establishments may actually be HELPING your cause.

Yah Those protesters are just doing what is right the animals are not to be confined in a zoo they should be in their natural habitats because thats where nature place them and besides animals have emotions too just like us humans they also have feelings like boredom and loneliness and putting them in the zoo would only give them too much miseries.. And lets reversed the situation what would you feel if you are the one put behind those bars in the zoo and the animals would watch you and making fun of you.. thank you peta for your concerns to the animals..

Some animals have been saved from extinction thanks to zoos.

Lucas when PETA asks men to go naked for their protests as well as women then there will be no issue. History has objectified women and solely women to get their point across. When you stop having women being seen as sex toys and start having them be seen as beautiful PEOPLE then that sends a good message. Also they were wearing bikinis they were pratically naked. Not good enough for you Lucas try looking up your perversions on the net. Also there's some sort of nonsense out there that women don't like looking at handsome men naked only men like looking at women naked. I'm fine with nudity if there's eye candy for everyone not just the male gaze.

Just thought I'd say glad to see the protesters managing to wear something again. I applaud your decision to stop objectifying women like animals are objectified.
