One-day demonstration was part of the group's anti-leather campaign. Savannah Morning News Dana Clark Felty 912.652.0311 dana.felty@savannahnow.com Two partially nude animal rights activists said they were surprised to be arrested Thursday during a demonstration in downtown Savannah. Lisa Franzetta, 30, of Oakland, Calif., and Kayla Rae Worden, 42, of Hendersonville, N.C., were dressed in thong underwear, pasties and faux-leather shoes. They carried a banner reading "Pleather Your Tootsies." The pair protested the killing of animals for leather goods on behalf of the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, based in Norfolk, Va. Shortly after noon, the activists were handing out pamphlets on the southwest corner of Bull and Broughton streets when they were taken into police custody. Sgt. Mike Wilson, spokesman for the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police, said the women were arrested for having a lewd appearance. "They were just in their underwear," he said. "So that would qualify as lewd appearance." Both were taken to the Chatham County jail for the misdemeanor. Franzetta is described by PETA as campaign coordinator for the nonprofit organization's "Pleather" Tour, which encourages consumers to buy synthetic materials such as vinyl, faux-leather and other high-tech fabrics not made from animals. The group argues that the slaughter of animals for consumer goods and foods is inhumane. "By showing some of our skin, we hope to save animals' skins," Franzetta said. In March, Franzetta made news in a demonstration in New York's Times Square where, wearing a fur coat, she drank from a toilet. The group expected to take their campaign to Atlanta as well as Charleston and Columbia, S.C.

I criticized the Clinton administration for backing off of the inspections when Ambassador Butler was giving us strong evidence that we needed to continue. I think we need to put the pressure on no matter what the evidence is about September 11." -John F.
