PETA orange vest deer thing, yet another Urban Legend

And for those of you that use fox as a source for news.

"And finally, we've picked up on a wire item last time that said that PETA had outfitted 400 deer out in Ohio with those bright orange vests that hunters used to alert each other not to shoot. The story went on to say that a sporting goods store had tried to thwart PETA by paying a bounty for the vests taken from to the reindeer -- dead deer. It turned out that the item was not only not new, it wasn't true, either. It was a hoax and we fell for it. Sorry about that. "

Thrawn, thank goodness that ONLY Fox has ever aired incorrect information, eh?

heheh, sorry if my post seemed I was implying that.  For the record I'm not.  Always be weary of all your sources of information, even the links I've posted here.;)
