FORT LAUDERDALE,
Fla. - The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals has nixed a plan to use Tiger Woods' image on a
billboard urging people to spay and neuter their pets.
PETA previously
announced it would erect a billboard in Windermere — near
Woods' home — with his picture and the words: "Too much
sex can be a bad thing ... Always spay or neuter!"
The group,
which is known for edgy campaigns, says it decided to put the
Woods billboard on hold after talking with the golfer's
attorneys.
PETA wouldn't
say whether Woods' attorneys threatened to sue.
Instead of
Woods, the ad will feature South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford,
whose widely known dalliances have also made frequent headlines.
