Two animals rights activists took a nude shower together in a Pittsburgh square Tuesday afternoon, using a banner as an improvised shower stall.

The women were both members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which opposes killing animals for meat or hides, as well as scientific experimentation involving animals.

While they were both naked during their shower at Forbes Avenue and Market Place, the large banner covered them from mid-thigh to just below their shoulders, WPXI-TV reported. It bore pro-vegetarian slogans, including 1 lb. of meat equals 6 months of showers.

PETA said the environmentally conscious should learn that giving up meat is one of the best things they can do.

It's impossible to 'go green' without going vegetarian, said PETA member Colleen Higgins. Just by changing their diets, concerned people can help protect the Earth, their own health and countless animals.
