ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - You can call her CutoutDissection.com, or
Cutout for short, but just don't call her Jennifer.
The former Jennifer Thornburg wanted to really do something to
protest animal dissections in schools, so the 19-year-old changed
her legal name to match the Web address for the People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals' anti-dissection Web page. She's an
intern for the animal rights group.
Despite her legally changing her name, the North Carolina woman
says most members of her family still call her Jennifer. Her father
says it's going to take a while to adjust to the new name. But he
also says he respects her decision and understands why she did it.
