 PETA protestors arrested for public indecency. 
  
 One-day demonstration was part of the group's anti-leather campaign.

 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 think we ought to put the heat on Saddam Hussein. 
 I've said that for a number of years, Bill. 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."
