In an alleged effort to stir controversy and gain publicity, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, has asked to place sexed up advertisements on city patrol cars.
PETA has claimed they will pay the financially struggling city to run “pro-vegan” advertisements on all police vehicles.

City of Vallejo Police Chief Robert Nichelini said, “It seems to us this is a scheme by PETA to obtain free publicity under the guise of a news story.”
A blog posted on PETA’s Web site states, “If Vallejo police chief Robert Nichelini allows PETA to serve our message to his community, no doubt many residents will make changes to better protect animals, the environment and their own health.”
