PETA Campaign Leads to First Animal Protection Regulation in Bolivia

After nearly a month of intense PETA campaigning against horrific combat training exercises conducted by the Bolivian military--in which lives dogs were shown in a video being tied down, stabbed repeatedly, and screaming in agony--the Bolivian Ministry of Defense ended the killing by issuing the country's first-ever animal protection regulation--Resolution 217--which "prohibit<s> all acts of violence, exploitation, <and> mistreatment that provokes the death of animals."

3. B-b-but I thought PETA didn't really care about animals?

How could their insane publicity stunts actually work to address animal rights issues and cause change in the world?

That's just crazy talk. ;)

5. It's a riddle wrapped inside a mystery or something like that. Focusing on

results instead of currying the favor of those who stand in opposition to your goals just doesn't make sense. What can PETA be thinking?
