(MediaBuyerPlanner) Young Electric Sign Company of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Next Media of Fort Collins, Colorado, have refused to post billboards from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in Cheyenne, Wyoming, writes KGWN CBS 5 News. PETA created the billboards sporting a digitally manipulated photo of a dog caught on a fishhook to promote their view that fishing is cruel.

PETA spokeswoman Karen Robertson said that though the billboards have been rejected in some areas, PETA has successfully placed the anti-fishing billboards in Alabama, Missouri and Florida.
