About 30 to 50 demonstrators were present into the night in front of Hospice House Woodside, most holding signs with political and religious messages stating their desire for the brain-damaged woman's tube feedings to resume.

One woman held a 5-foot plastic-foam spoon reading: ``Please feed Terri.''

They were outnumbered by a gaggle of reporters, photographers and television crews from around the world who were often feverishly jockeying for position during news conferences on the narrow street.

Schiavo's feeding tube was removed Friday afternoon, and her right-to-die case has drawn international attention.

``It's a real zoo down here, much crazier than you see on TV,'' said Bessie Davis, 58, of Seminole, who said she came to watch the scene before heading to work at a nearby Winn-Dixie store.

The day's most dramatic event unfolded at 11:30 a.m., when seven adults and three children were arrested as they attempted to enter the hospice carrying food and water for Schiavo.

Among them were Chris Keys, 45, of Texas, and three of his children; Josie, 14, Gabriel, 10, and Cameron, 12.

Lt. Kevin Riley, spokesman for Pinellas Park police, said all the arrests for trespassing were ``rehearsed.''

``We knew exactly when they were going to be,'' Riley said. ``We had at least an hour's notice, and the mother of the children was here to do what she needed to do for her husband and kids.''
