    PeTA upset at Six Flags roach eating contest

    PeTA upset at Six Flags roach eating contest

    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, Ill., 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.

    I don't understand. The roaches have nothing against eating PETA members...

    [facetious]I often wonder if there were something which ate us, would PeTA still exist? And even deeper, would that species have CeTH, Creatures for the Ethical Treatment of Humans?[/facetious]

    Sorry, not according to one of my professors. Just because peta vandalizes and damages property, doesnt mean they are terrorists. They certainly wouldn't consider themselves terrorists anyway (or so she says).

    They're just PO'd because they've been having a hard time finding qualified group leaders. Seems somebody at Six Flags has been eating their top contenders...

    I don't doubt that a bit...thats a perfect example of why our "higher education" system is steadily sliding into the gutter.
