PETA Wool Worrying

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) the animal rights group, are prone to moments of ridiculousness which harms their cause.

They seem to think that sheep object to being sworn at, and that shearing sheep is some form of sheep cruelty (have they ever seen a sheep that isn't shorn?).

Monkey Nuts

There is a famous "monkey selfie" photograph that has been published many times around the globe since it was taken by Naruto the Macaque monkey in the Indonesian jungle in 2011, and which has been re-used on countless websites. It apparently is copyrighted and makes some money for its 'photographer', David Slater from Monmouthshire in the UK.

But that's where the dispute lay. After all argued Peta, the animal rights group, the photograph was actually a 'selfie' by a monkey, who therefore was the photographer, and not the owner of the camera it used who was making all the money.
