That's right, PETA; inflict REAL nightmares on little kids.

PETA got on its high horse this week, calling on the country’s largest manufacturer of amusement rides to stop selling animal-themed carousels.
The animal rights organization sent a letter to Kansas-based Chance Rides on Tuesday arguing that using designs of horses and other animals for the merry-go-round “unintentionally celebrates the exploitation” of animals that are “thinking, feeling, affectionate, playful, and social beings.”
By eliminating animal-themed amusement rides, it would be a blow against industries that still use real animals for entertainment like camel rides or dolphin shows, PETA insisted. Those live animals can face abuse or horrid conditions, the group noted.
PETA suggested to Aaron Landrum, the CEO and president of Chance Rides, that his company only use objects like cars, unicycles, rockets or other designs like shooting stars, rainbows or brooms.
“All animals are thinking, feeling, affectionate, playful, and social beings who form strong bonds with their offspring if permitted to keep them (a rarity),” PETA’s president Ingrid Newkirk wrote in the letter. “They crave freedom from oppression.
“Animal-themed carousel sets reinforce the notion that these sentient beings are simply here for our entertainment, rather than individuals with the same capacity to experience fear, pain, joy, and love as any of us.”
Newkirk noted other companies have taken stances against using animals on its products.
She said that Nabisco replaced its design of caged animals with animals roaming free on its Barnum’s Animal Crackers boxes after PETA raised concerns in 2018.
The following year, supermarket Trader Joe’s redid the design of several of its products so they no longer included elephants performing tricks.

PETA-”People eating tasty animals”
Literally every animal rights nutcase I’ve ever heard questioned about abortion is 110% in favor, they don’t even try to make excuses, it’s just save the animals, kill the baby. No apologies.
The Fun Police wish to strike again!
Even the plastic ones?
Amusement ride manufacturer to PETA - “And the horse you rode in on.”
Isn’t that the truth? Don’t hurt animals, but go ahead and rip a baby apart. It’s ok because we can’t hear it scream.

This is a great example of manufacturing outrage just to stay relevant. It’s just like the race hustling grift.
This sounds like something from the Babylon Bee!
PETA want to eliminate all tracks of animals from our life.
If they would succeed, I would think, people would loose all affection to the animals and treat them like the unborn!
If I were an animal, I would be scared of PETA!
Funny observation - the most endangered animals are the most “free” ones.
Cows (about 1.3 billions estimated now), are not endangered, while Auroch (the wild cow ancestor) went extinct like 300 years ago.
From the Darwin point of view, every animal should dream to be tasty snack!

Yeah, being vegan makes you cray cray.
We had a vegan poster years back, he was nuts.
Someone ought to start a movement to abort pregnant animals due to overpopulation.
Do to animals what they do to get rid of unborn human beings.....
suction them out, give ‘em a pill to painfully force a dead animal birth,
or forcibly dilate ‘em and use a curette to scrape and scoop out the dead animals.
The PETA types would go berserk.
In the area I live there is(or was) a pigeon problem, yet they seem to be protected by law when most of what they do is deface property. Same thing with blackbirds, equally guilty but they seem to be on a protected species list at least locally.
Mental illness on display.
To quote a wise man PETA GFY!
How can a tiny percentage of our population get so influential?
No one if forcing anyone to eat meat. If they don’t want to eat meat I have no problem with that, what I have a problem with is them trying to change our society and culture to fit their beliefs. Just stop already.
Nice....a pigeon has more protection than an unborn baby according to these brainless PETA idiots.
A half-nude peta protester in Fargo, ND was pushing their random shiite in the public square.
So I went downtown, bought two hotdogs, and offered her one on live TV.
Good times!
PETA cries over plastic animals while at the border, thousands of dogs are being abandoned to starve to death by illegal border jumpers.
What a bunch of useless poseurs.
