Throughout the course of this day, several members of green-oriented organization PETA are expected to strut the streets of Rapid City, South Dakota, wearing nothing except body paint and hiding behind a banner that reads “All Animals Have the Same Parts – Go Vegan.”

In case anyone was wondering, the drawings on their body will mimic a butcher's diagram of the animal anatomy.

Although their message is pretty straightforward, it cannot hurt to reiterate it: eating meat and dairy is a crime against animal rights, and we should all give up on this practice.

Thus, the organization hopes to determine more people to become vegetarians simply by emphasizing the fact that, just like human beings, cattle and the like are made of flesh and bones.

“Animals aren't 'breasts' or 'thighs' or 'flanks.' They think, feel, and want to live, just as you and I do. We hope to expose others to the benefits of a humane vegan diet,” explains one greenhead working with this organization.
