PETA Protests Peppa Pig Theme Park’s Meat Menu
PETA’s Concerns and Demands
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has planned a protest for the opening day of a new children’s theme park in Dallas-Fort Worth. The reason for the protest is the park’s menu, which serves a variety of meat options.
PETA’s Message
According to PETA’s Executive Vice President, Tracy Reiman, "Peppa has shown her young fans that animals are individuals with emotions and unique personalities, and most children would be horrified to realize they are eating real-life Peppas, Mr. Bulls, and Mrs. Cows." Reiman also emphasized that PETA is urging the Peppa Pig Theme Park to "nurture young people’s natural empathy by serving exclusively tasty vegan food."
The Menu at Miss Rabbit’s Diner
The theme park’s dining option, Miss Rabbit’s Diner, offers a variety of food options, including entrees for kids like PB&J, grilled cheese, mac and cheese, and cheese and beef pepperoni pizza. Adult entrees include margherita flat bread, salads, a chicken caesar wrap, smoked brisket sandwich, and baked potato. The menu also features milkshakes and other snacks.
PETA’s Billboard
PETA has already erected a billboard in the Tarrant County community, stating "Pigs are friends, not food." Another line reads, "Please, go vegan."
