While most people brought signs to Friday's inauguration protests in DC, one man brought something quite different: two alpacas, a llama, and a dove.
This protester, in Chinatown, has a Go-Pro hat, a bullhorn, and three llamas
The protester, named Ethan Abbott, told BuzzFeed News he brought the animals to remind people "we need to take back our farms and our food."
"They love to march," he said. "And they do it a lot."
