PETA staged a protest today at the Galleria to draw attention to retailer Wet Seal’s (Nasdaq: WTSLA) use of rabbit fur. Several earnest young people and one tall bunny were handing out literature next to a casket and some small, bloody, pink bunnies. Houstonians took the flyers and politely thanked them in between bites of thick juicy prime rib. Possibly as a result of the protest, Wet Seal, Inc.’s stock tumbled .02% as the market close neared. Meanwhile, Wet Seal employees were unperturbed:
Me: Did you know that people are protesting your store outside?
Adorable Sales Girl #1: (head tilt) Really?
Me: Yeah. They say you kill bunnies.
Adorable Sales Girl #2: They should protest Wilson’s Leather!
From the mouths of babes…
