Animal-rights activists across the nation are planning to single out children who are unlucky enough to have mothers who wear fur by giving them fliers at performances of "The Nutcracker" ballet saying, "Your Mommy Kills Animals."

The fliers feature a woman stabbing a terrified rabbit in the belly with a bloody knife, reports the Boston Herald. Text on the pamphlets urges kids to "ask your mommy how many dead animals she killed to make her fur clothes."

"Children can't look up to a mom in a battered-raccoon hat or a crushed coyote collar,'' Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, told the paper. "Maybe when they're confronted by their own children's hurt looks, fur-wearers' cold hearts will melt.''

According to the report, the fliers even urge children to protect their pets from mom: "The sooner she stops wearing fur, the sooner the animals will be safe. Until then, keep your doggie or kitty friends away from mommy – she's an animal killer.''

Child psychologist Dr. Carolyn Newberger decried the tactic.

"It's using children in the worst possible way,'' she told the Herald. "If (the activists) want to legitimately work to protect animals from destruction for fashion, they have every right to. But to do so by targeting children and making them feel their mothers are murderers is absolutely unconscionable.''

According to PETA national coordinator Lisa Franzetta, activists will descend on Christmas performances of "The Nutcracker" in as many as 20 cities across the U.S.

The paper says Franzetta acknowledged the anti-fur campaign might spark a backlash.

"It's definitely provocative; I will give you that,'' she said.

So wrong . . .

Time to break out the 1920's racoon coat my grandpa gave me, kinda hot to wear, but hey when in rome.

Typical radical people these days. It's ok for them to take or do whatever for thier cause no matter who or what it hurts in the process. Ethical, right, thier ethics. Lets protect some animals that can't think by ruining the childs impression or thier mother. O ya that's a great idea. Where is the media on this, there should be more coverage when this stuff goes on. The effen media is all over giving the radicals coverage which is just what they want. Where are they when they do such disturbign things. PETA are the stupidest people there are to me. The reason we people are so smart and alive today is because the strain of humans that were carnivours are meat not plants. THe protiens in the meat give and made us who we are today. THe stain of humans that only ate plants died out long ago.
