PETA upset at Six Flags roach contest

9/25/05

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, 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 prefer my roaches smoked, rather than raw.

...going to 6 Flags is punishment enough. Cedar Point forever!

Plus aren't those cockroaches delicacies in other countries? Is PETA protesting all of the animal abuses at the park; or just the roaches?

Ugh. PETA. What a bad joke.

If I want to eat roaches, I'll just go to Chung King on Anthony. . .

A little Olivers Army reference there fo ya'. . . . . .

If you eat a roach, you get cutting priveleges in line - I gotta feeling the line automatically clears for any approaching roach eater.
