Eat a Roach, Piss Off PETA
The whacky kooks at PETA are taking another stand. Thank God they are advocating for the welfare of Madagascar Hissing Roaches. If you go to a Halloween Fright Fest at Six Flags, you can get unlimited line jumping passes if you eat a giant cockroach. PETA is shedding real tears because the contest is “cruel.”
Meanwhile the Saudis and Chinese are wiping out millions of dogs. Nice to see the kooks have their priorities straight.
From the AP here:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Six Flags Great America to scrap its Halloween-themed cockroach-eating promotion.
A spokeswoman for the animal rights organization says the contest at the amusement park’s FrightFest is “gratuitously cruel.”
The park in Gurnee, Ill., is joining other Six Flags parks in offering unlimited line-jumping privileges to anyone who eats a live Madagascar hissing cockroach. The bugs are up to three inches long.
The contest begins next month.
Amusement park officials are defending their menu choice. Great America spokesman Jim Taylor says the bugs are nutritious, high in protein and fat free.
