Fur flies over flier: PETA targets ‘Nutcracker’ kids
By David Weber
Wednesday, December 17, 2003

Animal rights advocates will single out small children at performances
of ``The Nutcracker'' in the next few weeks by handing out fliers
saying ``Your Mommy Kills Animals'' to youngsters whose mothers are
wearing fur.
``Children can't look up to a mom in a battered-raccoon hat or a
crushed coyote collar,'' said Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals. ``Maybe when they're confronted by
their own children's hurt looks, fur-wearers' cold hearts will melt.''
The fliers include a color drawing of a woman plunging a large
bloody knife into the belly of a terrified rabbit. The fliers urge
kids to ``ask your mommy how many dead animals she killed to make her
fur clothes.
``And the sooner she stops wearing fur, the sooner the animals
will be safe. Until then, keep your doggie or kitty friends away from
mommy - she's an animal killer.''
Brookline child psychologist Dr. Carolyn Newberger called the
tactics ``terribly dangerous to children.''
``It's using children in the worst possible way,'' she said. ``If
(the activists) want to legitimately work to protect animals from
destruction for fashion, they have every right to. But to do so by
targeting children and making them feel their mothers are murderers is
absolutely unconscionable.''
Lisa Franzetta, a national coordinator for PETA, said the group
will launch its ``fur-ocious'' protest at `Nutcracker' performances in
as many as 20 cities across the United States.
Franzetta, who is based in California, said yesterday she did not
yet know when the protests will begin in Boston, where ``The
Nutcracker'' is playing at the Wang Center for the Performing Arts in
the Theater District.
Franzetta acknowledged the anti-fur campaign might spark a
backlash. ``It's definitely provocative, I will give you that,'' she
said.
Wang Center officials could not be reached for comment about the
planned protests.
