JACKSONVILLE -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is turning heads again with a questionable new billboard.
The animal rights group known for its controversial ways of attracting attention has put up a “Save the Whales” billboard in Jacksonville, but instead of the marine mammals, it shows an image of an overweight woman.
PETA representatives said they are just trying to get more people to become vegetarians, which would help them lose the pounds.
Critics, however, said the billboard is offensive to the overweight.
