EDGEWOOD, N.M. -- For animal rights activists, sticking up for furry or feathered critters is a way of life. Now it can be a way of death, too. A New Mexico company is building all-wood human coffins in a partnership with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. They bear painted slogans, such as "Lifetime PETA Member" or "I saved 500 animals." Another serves up a last laugh that plays on a long-running PETA advertisement: "Told You I Wouldn't Be Caught Dead in Fur!" The coffins, which went on sale last week, are priced from $620 to $670, which includes a $75 PETA contribution.

Well, whatever keeps the hippies off the streets and stable.
Why not a burial at sea? Feed the fishies!
PETA is a PITA!
How dare they! Trees have feelings, too!
Think of all the little birds who cannot build a nest because you cut down their trees to build that coffin...BAD PETA!!
LOL, what a great door bell
What’s the expiration date on those?
Tastes like pork.
A little makeup, little black dress and a nice haircut she wouldn’t be half bad. But I’m afraid the first time she opened her mouth the effect would totally evaporate.
Someone did not fully cook their soylent green...
I really hope they sell a lot.....soon.
And in the end, the insects will eat the corpse.
Irony can be really ironic sometimes.
