  • Dispatches From Clown World: PETA Demands Ban of Carousel Animals

    From BTR1701@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 20 19:25:44 2024
    https://nypost.com/2024/02/08/news/peta-calls-on-amusement-ride-manufacturer-chance-rides-to-stop-selling-animal-themed-carousels/amp/

    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.

    Not to mention horse racing tracks (one of which I've seen had Corgi
    races where they actually had paramutual betting on the pooches!).....

    Then, why wouldn’t they want us to ride them?

    Or it celebrates the lives and existence of those animals for people
    who may never see them in the real world. Or would they prefer the
    carousel owners buy real animals and put them in place of the current
    fake animals?

    So how does getting animal themed amusement rides impact industries
    that use real camels or other creatures. Oh, wait I know how it will
    impact them. It will increase their business. Also I would point out
    that camel rides as far as I know don't exist in the USA. At least
    I've never heard of it here.

    PETA suggested to Aaron Landrum, the CEO and president of Chance Rides,

    So they should use inanimate objects for rides? Something like the
    inanimate objects they are currently using so no living thing is hurt
    by a simple carnival ride.

    And, of course, trees aren’t living things

    Next thing you know they'll be demanding pro sports teams with animal
    names like Lions and Tigers will 'have' to rename themselves....
