The circus is coming to Orange County soon, but not before a show of a whole other kind hits town, which is due to take place midday tomorrow in the heart of Anaheim. The show is actually a protest organized by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) who will express their displeasure about what they believe is the unethical treatment of circus animals by "having one of its members, 32-year-old Melissa Sehgal, pushed through downtown Anaheim in a cage, nearly nude except for tiger-stripe body paint," according to the OC Register.

PETA has a very difficult trick to pull off. They have to try to convince men to stop eating at KFC, buying leather jackets, or barbecuing meat - for starters. While we don't always get the connection between Pamela Anderson posing nude in the window of a NYC department store, we appreciate the effort. Here PETA gets us to listen to several minutes of their past accomplishments and they even figured out a way...
