Washington — Wearing bikinis made of strategically placed lettuce leaves, PETA’s sexy “Lettuce Ladies” will hit Capitol Hill on Thursday with a mountain of free tasty, humane, and healthy vegan hot dogs for members of Congress and their staff. The ladies hope the veggie-dog giveaway will give members of Congress some “food for thought” during the upcoming summer recess, which begins August 5.

When:   Thursday, August 1, 12 noon

Where:  The Rayburn House Office Building courtyard (main entrance), near the intersection of Independence Avenue S.W. and First Street S.W., Washington

“Policymakers who take a veggie dog from PETA’s sexy vegetarians won’t just get a free lunch—they’ll also see for themselves how trim and sexy vegetarian bodies can be,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Vegetarian meals are a great way to shrink your waistline and your carbon footprint—and they’re kinder to animals, too.”

Veggie dogs contain roughly a third of the fat and calories of their fleshy counterparts—and they save animals from extreme suffering on factory farms and in slaughterhouses. They’re also “greener,” as the meat industry is a leading cause of environmental devastation, including greenhouse-gas emissions.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?” READ MORE
