"Fur flies over flier: PETA targets ‘Nutcracker’ kids

Animal rights advocates will single out small children
at performances of ``The Nutcracker'' in the next few
weeks by handing out fliers saying ``Your Mommy Kills
Animals'' to youngsters whose mothers are wearing fur.

``Children can't look up to a mom in a
battered-raccoon hat or a crushed coyote collar,''
said Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals. ``Maybe when they're
confronted by their own children's hurt looks,
fur-wearers' cold hearts will melt.''

The fliers include a color drawing of a woman plunging
a large bloody knife into the belly of a terrified
rabbit. The fliers urge kids to ``ask your mommy how
many dead animals she killed to make her fur clothes.

``And the sooner she stops wearing fur, the sooner the
animals will be safe. Until then, keep your doggie or
kitty friends away from mommy - she's an animal
killer.''

Brookline child psychologist Dr. Carolyn Newberger
called the tactics ``terribly dangerous to children.''

``It's using children in the worst possible way,'' she
said. ``If (the activists) want to legitimately work
to protect animals from destruction for fashion, they
have every right to. But to do so by targeting
children and making them feel their mothers are
murderers is absolutely unconscionable.''

Lisa Franzetta, a national coordinator for PETA, said
the group will launch its ``fur-ocious'' protest at
`Nutcracker' performances in as many as 20 cities
across the United States.

Franzetta, who is based in California, said yesterday
she did not yet know when the protests will begin in
Boston, where ``The Nutcracker'' is playing at the
Wang Center for the Performing Arts in the Theater
District.

Franzetta acknowledged the anti-fur campaign might
spark a backlash. ``It's definitely provocative, I
will give you that,'' she said.

Wang Center officials could not be reached for comment
about the planned protests."
