In Ottawa, Canada today Oscar Meyer launched a nation-wide talent search
for the new Oscar Meyer weiner kid. Parents from the region brought
their children to audition in front of cameras for a part in a new
commercial. Animal Action activists were there to urge kids to think
about what it mean to be an Oscar Meyer weiner, for livestock it means
certain death. One activist dressed in a pig costume placed himself at
center stage and refused to move. A melee ensued and the activist's
sign (please don't eat me) was ripped apart, his pig head torn off and
epithets hurled in his face by angry parents. The activist left after
the situation appeared to be escalating to a more violent level.
The Ottawa Citizen newspaper was on hand to capture the event.
