I stopped, introduced myself and asked if I could take pictures. They said, "Sure." After taking these few photographs I walked away and heard some of the onlookers cracking jokes about "eating steak" while giggling.
The irony was overwhelming. PETA members dressed as monkeys were quietly sitting in their cages, calmly engaged in their performance mode of protest. Onlookers, many from the nearby office buildings (cages of a different sort) were aping and miming primate simulations of their own...snickering, gawking, parading, pointing at the cages.
