British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen lampooned their country in his movie Borat and now Kazakhs have been confronted by British animal rights campaigners in lettuce bikinis.
The two activists from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) shivered in the cold yesterday in the main square of Almaty, Kazakhstan's commercial hub. For 30 minutes, they called on Kazakhs to stop eating horse meat and to go vegetarian. The stunt drew a mixed response from the locals with some saying it was fun; others were offended.
