Animal rights group wants pig dung at Ohio Capitol

COLUMBUS, Ohio - An animal advocacy group is appealing a decision by an Ohio Statehouse board that refuses to allow 3,500 gallons of pig excrement on the building's steps.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says an attorney sent a letter Monday asking the Statehouse executive director to review the ruling by the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board.

PETA seeks to bring manure and urine in buckets to the Capitol to support its claims that factory farms are breeding grounds for diseases such as swine flu. The group says an average farm produces 3,500 tons of animal waste annually.

The exhibit also includes a fan to disseminate odor and footage from a PETA investigation at a pig farm.

The board has agreed to allow some portions of the exhibit scheduled for Thursday.
