Like Greenpeace, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are facing more resistance when they take their protests out to the public sector.
In October 2002 police had to break up an animal rights protest when school children in Aberdeen, Scotland pelted activists with cartons of milk.

About 100 children, shouting "Milk for the masses!" and carrying banners surrounded Gifford and his partner "the cow". They drenched the hapless pair in milk for 10 minutes until the police eventually intervened to escort the activists back to their car.

when they take their protests out to the public sector.

Be more meticulous about the use of the term 'public.' Misuse of the term is responsible for much of the confusion of the rights of the citizen and the power of the state today.

The demonstration on the exchange floor was an attack on the 'private' sector. The attack on the school was possibly an attack on the 'private' sector or an attack on public property depending on who owned the school, gov't or private school.

Calling the citizens 'the public' is confusing. They are private citizens and are definitely not 'the public.'
