Sydney’s CBD is full of activists as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) hosts a confronting stunt in an attempt to encourage people to go vegan.

As part of their latest campaign to raise awareness that dogs are “no different to lamb, cows or chicken”, the group is barbecuing a dog-like prop at Pitt Street Mall.

@peta stopping to new lows with their stunt in Martin Place today – terrifying children on school holiday outings by barbecuing a (very lifelike) dog. I saw some visibly upset kids #Disgraceful #stunt #PETA pic.twitter.com/iaRpDXrCDc
