Those wacky PETAns

BBC | Give leather the boot, India urged
An animal welfare group is urging Indians to steer clear of wearing leather with an advertising campaign featuring singing cows.

"Do I make myself clear? Keep your hands off my rear!" croons a cow in the 30-second TV advert.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) hopes the lip-synched bovines will persuade Indians to boycott leather products.
I suppose this is no sillier than Chik-Fil-A's cows. But I thought cows were already sacred in India?

Oh, it's not just India? Well, I feel better now. (And this is ancient news that I'm just now hearing about. *Turns to the cow logo upper left* Is there anything you'd like to share?)
