Because fake horses are disrespectful or something.

quote:

PETA, the animal rights organization based in Norfolk, appealed to a Kansas-based manufacturer of carousels and other amusement park rides to stop using images of animals in its designs.

The organization sent a letter Tuesday to Aaron Landrum, president and CEO of Wichita-based Chance Rides, stating animal-themed carousels “reinforce the notion that these sentient beings are simply here for our entertainment,” according to a news release.

PETA’s president, Ingrid Newkirk, cited examples of real animals exploited for entertainment, such as elephants, dolphins, camels and horses. Images of animals used in the same way normalizes the practice, according to the organization.

These frickers are too narrow-minded to notice humans (mammals) are also group of animals.

PETA doesn't try to protect wildebeests from being eaten by lions, or a deer by tigers, or salmon by bears.

But god forbid, if a human eats a chicken & sausage gumbo or a cheeseburger. Even worse, make plastic horses for children to ride at an amusement park. GTFOH

They make these outlandish demands for publicity and to stay relevant.

But all it does is make people hate them, and only the most radical animal rights people remain as their supporters.

There are lots of legitimate animal cruelty issues that an average person would support. I don’t support banning leather footballs in the NFL or fake horses on carousels.

I’m surprised pita hasn’t gone after the rodeo circuit yet. Of course, getting in the face of some of those boys would probably guarantee you a first class arse whipping.

These people are so insane they can't even comprehend that they hurt their own cause.

I care as much about animals as much as anyone, but PETA is fricking nuts. About everything.

Those PETA folks really are nuts. Of all the things to get their panties in a twist over, they pick fake animals on a children's amusement park ride?

They're in Crazy Joe Davola territory.
