PETA to protest at SECDEF Austin\u2019s home over Marines eating snakes, scorpions in annual Cobra Gold exercise in Thailand<\/a><\/h3>\n

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) plans to protest outside of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin\u2019s home in Virginia and outside the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington D.C. on Thursday. The protests continue their ongoing opposition to Cobra Gold, an annual joint military survival training exercise between the U.S. and Thailand, in which U.S. Marines and their Thai counterparts have eaten insects and other live animals, and drank blood from decapitated snakes.<\/p>\n
