Editor:
I was dismayed to see the "Racy protest" photo on the front page of your paper the other day (Jan. 8). PETA is one group I would have expected to know better, in regards to perpetuating outdated stereotypes.
Nurses are highly trained and educated professionals who do not appreciate being portrayed in such a manner. Would they like to see an animal dressed up and made to perform tricks on a street corner? There is a reason why certain things have become passé.
