Worshipers attending Easter Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral got the scare of their lives when a band of unruly protesters disrupted the event.
“I thought they were going to blow themselves up,” worshiper Carol Forester, 50, confessed.
A group of six animal-rights protesters abruptly leaped up from a pew in the middle of the service and shouted, “Easter is a time for love! No more shedding animal blood!” while holding up signs of animals pleading for their lives.
About 20 minutes into Rev. Damian O’Connell’s noon Mass, protester Jacob Martin, 23, rose out of his seat in the center of the church and started to walk down the aisle while shouting into a bullhorn that “only the devil” could create “animals capable of love and joy just so humans can make them suffer and die.”

It's time to go after these people.
Pretty disrespectful action taken by these activists, in my opinion. And also they seemed to choose the wrong venue, as I fail to see how disrupting a church mass sends the proper message they are trying to convey. They also should have been arrested for disturbing the peace and also disorderly conduct.
I realize it was only a SIGN of the animals "pleading for their lives".
But I would love to see a VIDEO of the animals "pleading for their lives". I just wander what they sound like when they plead?
Does anyone know? Has anyone ever seen an animal pleading for its life?
I mean, is it like, Come on dude, don't shoot me. so on.
Lucky he wasn't at my church. We have people that don't play that BS!!
