COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 25 (UPI) -- An animal rights group has been granted permission to bring three hogs in "narrow metal crates" to the Ohio Statehouse as part of a factory farm protest.
The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board approved the request from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for the July 9 protest, but it rejected other parts of their plan, including requests to bring "gallons of urine, tons of manure and a fan to blow the odors around," The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported Thursday.
The board also gave PETA approval to bring a sound system to play "actual recorded screams of piglets," a video booth to display "undercover footage" of factory farms and a large banner reading: "Ban Factory Farms: Go Vegetarian. PETA."
