Twitter is mighty confused by this protest on O’Connell Street today

If you made your way down O'Connell Street this morning, then you were in for quite an… unusual sight.

PETA protested on the busy Dublin street today by having a woman lie down dressed in only her knickers (yep, no bra), on a giant plate, and had fake blood dripped all over her.

An interesting way to protest, yes, but my God, the woman must have been freezing.

The aim of the protest was to encourage people to not eat meat at Christmas dinner… but honestly, mostly everyone was perplexed by the situation:

This girl is lying on O'Connell street now as part of @peta's campaign to encourage people NOT to eat meat this xmas. Roast vegan anyone? pic.twitter.com/Z3Eb1j8JqH
