PETA will launch their own porn website to draw the attention of millions of Internet surfers. The animal rights group will use some obvious changes to Internet domain names in order to register themselves to operate the www.peta.xxx website.

“We are preparing to launch our own peta.xxx site, but instead of just showing people our iconic ads we then show them how animals suffer for entertainment,” News.com.au quoted spokeswoman Ashley Byrne as saying.

However, the sexy side PETA displayed in galleries and videos will quickly give way to the menacing world of animal mistreatment revealed by the group’s hidden camera investigations in a very different kind of graphic content.

“Our racier actions are sometimes a way to get people to sit up and pay attention to the plight of animals,” she said. Initially, the watchers will be shown the animal rights groups too hot for TV ads and campaigns.

Almost earthed for more than 2,000 years, an ancient temple built for Egyptian cat goddess, Bastet, was recently discovered by a group of Egyptian archeologists. The news was broken by the Supreme Council of Antiquities on Tuesday (January 19). The Ptolemaic-era temple was first found in the form of ruins in the heart of Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great in the 4th century B.C.
