PETA’s all about defending animals … even the artifical ones apparently — ‘trigger they fired off a letter to a Kansas firm imploring them to cease placing critters on carousels.
The infamous animal rights activist group directed the letter to Aaron Landrum, the president and CEO of Probability Rides — one of many largest producers of amusement rides within the U.S.
Within the letter, PETA has one plea … take animals off carousels and substitute them with automobiles — like your primary automotive or perhaps a freakin’ rocket — or whimsical designs like capturing stars and broomsticks.
The org. argues that placing animals — even pretend ones — able the place kids can experience them celebrates “the exploitation of sentient beings” although PETA acknowledges it is a completely unintentional consequence.
Their letter factors to alleged abuse towards real-life animals they worry will probably be spurred on by the continued existence of animal-themed carousels … principally involved these carousels “reinforce the notion” that animals are right here for our pleasure as an alternative of holding any feelings or internal lives of their very own.

PETA flaunts its document a bit on this correspondence as properly … saying Dealer Joe’s and Nabisco — amongst different corporations — have modified branding lately to take away footage of animals in captivity after comparable pleas from them.
Backside line … PETA’s attempting to save lots of all of the flesh and blood animals — even when they’ve to guard the fiberglass and aluminum ones first!
