Hoping to draw attention to its fight against circuses that use animals, PETA sent protesters to the River Market District in Little Rock on Thursday, including a partially nude woman painted like a tiger.
The scene drew plenty of onlookers who watched as PETA member Christina Dang got in a cage to rail against the coming Ringling Bros. circus.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals claim that the circus abuses its elephants, tigers and lions.
"I'll gladly bare my skin if it will help expose Ringling's abusive treatment of animals," Dang said of her experience. "The best way to stop this abuse is for people to boycott Ringling and other circuses that use animals."
