Business at an animal-friendly shopping center in Austin, Texas, has "gone to the dogs."

News 8 Austin reports a strict rule imposed on tenants of the plaza a few years ago – that no meat or animal products be sold – has prompted an exodus. A Chinese restaurant and a bakery closed. A bridal shop relocated, and word on the street is a popular burger joint is following suit.

Nancy Owen, owner of Alegra's Bridal and Invitations, told the news channel she was informed she could not exterminate her ants but must "relocate" them.

"I couldn't believe my ears. I thought I was mishearing what they were saying," Owen said. "I can't run a business with ants crawling all over my hands and my customers."

Other businesses have learned to adapt. A vision shop and shoe repair stopped selling leather products and a liquor store gave up the caviar in its gift baskets.

Full story.

OOOKKKK..........
That is a little too far. Ant's, sure they may be living, and ya, they are living with us. But I understand why you must kill them, to keep a "sanatary" work place.
But come on PETA! that is TOO FAR and TOO STUPID!

I wonder, if any PETA members had ants or termites in their homes would they "relocate" the pests, or would they call Orkin?

I favor animal rights, but that is ridiculous.
