Ahead of World Environment Day, two painted animal defenders took to the streets to remind passers-by that raising animals for food is one of the biggest sources of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the climate catastrophe.

Shoppers are in for a sci-fi spectacle when walking, talking robot calf Charli XC Cow hoofs it to ask customers, “Are you wearing my mother?” The robot, which features a state-of-the-art 3D-printed head, describes how the leather industry exploits cows—and breaks into a celebratory dance whenever someone says they’re wearing vegan clothing.

Diners on their way to local eateries that serve pork are in for an earful when “Hell on Wheels”—PETA’s hyper-realistic pig transport truck that looks as if it contains real pigs on their way to slaughter—bombards them with actual recorded sounds of the animals’ panicked screams.

Attendees at SeaWorld’s inaugural Fins and Flippers 5K were greeted by a surprising sight when they arrived: a giant crying “orca” chained to a massive inflatable arch, surrounded by a pod of PETA supporters.
