Checking in with... Lisa Franzetta of PETA

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' Lisa Franzetta in her Tiger Lady costume

(2003) Lisa Franzetta, campaign coordinator for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), wears the Tiger Lady costume to protest the wearing of furs.

There's a picture of Lisa Franzetta wearing fur and drinking from a toilet
here, here, or here.

And, there's some background on her here:

...She's an Ivy League grad from an upscale New Jersey suburb who never did anything more radical than volunteer at animal shelters until she began working for PETA four years ago writing ad copy.

Her epiphany snuck up on her in her mid-20s, yet it is rooted firmly in a visceral disgust for seeing animals hurt or tortured. It first popped up in 10th-grade biology class: "We had dissected the fruit fly and the worm and the frog, and when we got to the pig, Lisa refused to do it," said Katherine Bell, who has known Franzetta since high school. Instead, Franzetta sat in the back of the class doing independent study.

"In high school, Lisa was the type of girl that high school boys in New Jersey wouldn't like too much; she was too smart," said Bell . "She was always brave and sexy and fun. It's just that in Randolph , New Jersey , there wasn't a lot of opportunity for that side of her to come out..."

I find myself... strangely seduced by her ideology...
