ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - The pastor at Anchorage First Free Methodist Church was mystified. Why was the activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals chastising him? No animals are harmed in the church's holiday nativity display. In fact, animals aren't used at all.

People, however, do dress the parts - Mary, Joseph, the wise men, etc. The volunteers stand shivering at a manger on the church lawn in a silent tribute to Christmas.

The Rev. Jason Armstrong was confused by an e-mail this week from PETA, which admonished him for subjecting animals "to cruel treatment and danger," by forcing them into roles in the church's annual manger scene.

"You ate the baby Jesus?" "I thought it was an animal cracker" "You thought the baby Jesus was an animal cracker??"

Sounds like PETA alright. Nothing like going all out without checking the facts first.

Heh... Notice they sent an e-mail. PETA knows they're not welcome up here.

I love how PETA claims real animals used in manger scenes have been raped.

In some parts of the country, that's possible.



The animals are probably just standing there, idly.
"Psst, why are we just standing here?"
"I dunno, not like we'd do anything different back in the pasture."
"Good point. Man I'm hungry. That hay that the tiny bulbousy human thing is laying in looks pretty tasty."
"Go for it."

Headline the next day:
"Baby Jesus in manger scene assaulted by psychotic goat."
