UM: PETA

Protesters from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), including three dressed in pig and cat costumes, picketed outside Detroit’s Westin Book Cadillac hotel on Wednesday, where University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman was being given a social justice award from a chapter of the Federal Bar Association, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press. The PETA group was protesting the use of pigs and cats to train UM survival flight nurses. [Source]
