Where's PETA?

A judge in Ohio has a history of using costumes and animals in sentencing minor criminals. Essentially, what he does is use public humiliation. It's not quite as bad as the stocks and pillories of old, but it's along those lines. I just wonder what the animal activists think about it? Isn't it demeaning to the innocent donkey (not to mention unmerited) that he/she be paraded around town as part of a human's humiliation? I'd think that PETA would be all over that shit.
