Vegetarian dons lettuce bikini to protest lamb campaign
Meat and Livestock Australia is spending $1 million to encourage us to eat lamb this Australia Day, but one animal liberationist is running a "bare bones" campaign against it.

Jodi Ruckley is travelling from Brisbane to Sydney wearing a bikini made of lettuce leaves.

She hopes it will make people think differently about intensive farming practices and embrace a vegetarian lifestyle.

"Lots of people love the costume and I think it's a really great way to draw attention to the serious issue about what's happening to animals in intensive farms in Australia," she said.

"Each of us has the power to make a difference here each time we sit down at the dinner table each time we go to a restaurant every time we make a choice on what we eat we can reduce animal suffering."

Lets hope theres no caterpillas going about!!!!

If that banner was any lower I'd say 'take it to the shed boys'!
