Bikini’d Mouse Protest Glue Traps

Item: PETA's Minnie Mouse in a bikini protests mouse glue traps in Spokane Valley/KREM

More Info: Protestors from the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) were set up outside the Spokane Valley Lowe's Tuesday protesting glue traps used to catch mice. A woman dressed in a red bikini with mouse ears—supposedly to look like Minnie Mouse—spent part of the day lying in a giant glue trap outside the store. PETA wants Lowe's to stop selling those mouse traps, which they call inhumane.

Question: Do you care how a mouse dies in your house, as long as it dies?
