PETA Upset At Six Flags Roach-Eating Contest

(AP) GURNEE, Ill. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Six Flags Great America to scrap its Halloween-themed cockroach-eating promotion.

A spokeswoman for the animal rights organization says the contest at the amusement park’s FrightFest is “gratuitously cruel.”

The park in Gurnee, Illinois, is joining other Six Flags parks in offering unlimited line-jumping privileges to anyone who eats a live Madagascar hissing cockroach. The bugs are up to three inches long.

The contest begins next month.

Amusement park officials are defending their menu choice. Great America spokesman Jim Taylor says the bugs are nutritious, high in protein and fat free.

Damnit, you whiney fuckers. Shut up and die already.

poor roaches :(

:rofl: . whats next? PETA complaining about kids stepping on ants?

Ever see the episode that Penn and Teller Bullshit did on PETA? Those guys are fucking nuts. FYI, PETA kills animals.

That clip was awesome.

I support PETA. People Eating Tasty Animals

I agree with Maddox on this one:

For every animal you don't eat, I'll eat three.

That place is soooo good.

I'm really not a fan of PETA. They don't realize they would die in a matter of months/years if they were to use nothing related to animals. Homos.
