PETA activists stripped down in freezing temperatures opposite Berlin’s Kaufhaus Jandorf for the opening of Berlin Fashion Week on Tuesday, baring their skin to shed light on the fashion world’s ties to animal cruelty. The protesters were wearing nothing but animal masks and underwear despite the frosty surroudings and held signs decrying the leather and fur industry. They also laid on the ground in front of cardboard gravestones, feigning death in a bid to highlight the plight of animals. Other demonstrators were seen handing out flyers supporting the PETA cause.

Caracas, Sep 25 (EFE).- Activists, human rights defenders and members of the LGBTQ+ community protested on Saturday against what was described as "discrimination" faced by two young people the previous night at a karaoke pizzeria in Caracas."I have just experienced an act of discrimination. At #VeraPizza in Chacao, they just told me that I can't dance with my boyfriend because it's a family environment ... Why, according to them, it's a disgusting act," Danny Toro tweeted.

SOUND BITES: DANNY TORO, ONE OF THE PROTESTERS (IN SPANISH). TRANSLATIONS: We cannot remain silent because events like the one that happened yesterday cannot remain as something that just happened. That is why we decided to come here with some kind of protest, of vindication, to seek that acts like those of yesterday do not happen again, not here nor anywhere else in Venezuela. That´s what we want.
