PETMO spokesperson, Needa Viva, told BNN, "Just because bacteria are not visible to the naked eye doesn't mean that they don't have rights. Americans are guilty of practicing bacterial genocide through the use of antibiotics. This heartless campaign of death has pushed certain bacterial strains to the brink of extinction." PETMO's protests have utilized "Urban Theater" as a means of getting their message out to the American people. One such protest occurred this morning on a subway in San Francisco. PETMO members disguised as commuters boarded the subway at the Walnut Creek station. As soon as the doors closed, 15 PETMO protesters quickly put brown paper bags over their heads. Painted on each of the bags was the word 'Bacterium'. Another protester then removed his jacket to reveal that he was wearing a bright blue t-shirt with the word 'antibiotic' painted on it in fluorescent red letters. As puzzled commuters looked on, the 'Antibiotic' proceeded to chase the 'Bacteria' around the subway car. Each time the 'Antibiotic' would touch a 'Bacterium' his victim would shriek, begin convulsing and then die. A few short seconds after the last bacterium met his fate, the PETMO members removed the bags from their heads and shouted in unison, "Stop the Genocide!" Elma Thompson, who happened to witness the protest, told BNN, "It was one of the most thought provoking protests that I have ever seen. I will certainly think twice before I take an antibiotic again." PETMO plans to stage similar protests in other metro areas around the country. Said Viva, "This is only the first battle in a long war. We are prepared to do whatever it takes to stop the violence against innocent bacteria." ================================= Robert F.
