  • Stand up for the facts! Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy. We need your help. I would like to contribute No, a PETA activist wasn’t taped to a tree after protesting a biker rally People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals—PETA, for short—believes animals shouldn’t be used to make clothes. They urge people to avoid leather (see: "How to Wear Vegan"). A recent Facebook post suggests they lobbied the wrong people. "This is how police found one of three missing PETA protesters who chose a biker rally to whine about leather usage," reads the text above a photo of a man taped to a tree. The post, which was published on Facebook on April 10, was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) We tried to track down the photo's origin, but weren't able to conclusively find its source. Searching for the photo elsewhere online, however, we found it on blogs and websites as early as 2008. Our search also led us to this 2010 story on the website Glossynews.com. The headline is, "Activists missing after declaring ‘war on leather’ at motorcycle rally." Here’s an excerpt: Sign up for PolitiFact texts "They peed on me!!!" charged one activist. "They grabbed me, and said I looked like I was French, and started calling me ‘La Trene’, and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!"
