I can assure you none of the protestors at the upcoming anti-Ward Churchill demonstration (see below) will be paid to picket the F-Troop Indian's speaking engagement.
PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, must be getting desperate, they're offering to pay people $10 in Amazon gift certificates to protest the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus when it comes to the Chicago suburb of Rosemont next month.
From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Animal rights activists are offering 10 bucks per person to protest the opening of the Ringling Bros. circus in Rosemont -- an offer the circus says shows the movement is desperate and ineffectual.
"Feeling a little low on cash? PETA's here to help!" Stephanie Wood, activist liaison for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, writes in an e-mail.
The payment comes in $10 gift certificates to Amazon.com. The organization is offering the cards to the first hundred people who help protest at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont on Nov. 2.
PETA has been busy in the Chicago area. Chicago Alderman Mary Ann Smith, is sponsoring an ordinance that will effectively ban elephants within Chicago's city limits. PETA has endorsed Smith's proposed legislation.
