After more than a century behind bars, the beasts on boxes of animal crackers are roaming free.
PETA says wanted to show the animal crackers free Animal rights group has been protesting circuses for years
Mondelez agreed and started working on a redesign. In the meantime, the crackers’ namesake circus — Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey — folded for good. The 146-year-old circus, which had removed elephants from its shows in 2016 because of pressure from PETA and others, closed down in May 2017 due to slow ticket sales.
The redesign of the boxes, now on U.S. store shelves, retains the familiar red and yellow coloring and prominent "Barnum’s Animals" lettering. But instead of showing the animals in cages — implying that they’re traveling in boxcars for the circus — the new boxes feature a zebra, elephant, lion, giraffe and gorilla wandering side-by-side in a grassland. The outline of acacia trees can be seen in the distance.
PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman says she’s celebrating the box redesign for the cultural change it represents.

The left is insane.
I’m kind of surprised that PETA even allowed the consumption of these animal crackers. It’s terrible symbolism.
Stupid liberals.
I predict that elephant populations will decline, and the obvious conclusion that circuses were supporting conservation of rare animals will be filed along with data that supports anthropomorphic climate change skeptics.
Just rename the product too: Cuck’s Crackers
I don’t know about this.
How do we REALLY know the animals properly reflect gender and LGBT diversity?
/s /s /s
How long till someone pressures them into putting the lion into a dress?
Just like real life...in a Leftist's head. :)
They need to get out of the basement more often cell are melting.
“I’m kind of surprised that PETA even allowed the consumption of these animal crackers.”
Don’t worry, that will happen soon enough.
The left works incrementally, one seemingly inconsequential step at a time.
That zebra is obviously a white horse with black stripes.
Make sure to take some time today to worry about animal crackers being caged up like a bunch of wild animal crackers. HUGS! Do it for da chillren!
Do vegans even eat animal crackers?
