GAS MASKS FOR PETS OK WITH ANIMAL ACTIVISTS

NORFOLK, Va. (Wireless Flash) – The animal activists at People for the Ethical Treatment For Animals are giving a “paws up” to gas masks for pets in case of a biological attack. A PETA spokeswoman says although the organization has concerns that our four-legged friends might find the masks “uncomfortable,” the protective devices are a more humane option than letting pets breathe biohazardous air. Daphna Nachminovitch says animals can easily get used to wearing a gas mask, just as they’ve gotten used to wearing those fluffy sweaters and booties. Still, she says PETA hopes the current strikes against terrorists will be effective so that American pets will not have to resort to wearing gas masks.
