Arlington, Texas –

Please find a statement from PETA Senior Vice President Colleen O’Brien in response to Six Flags’ new bullfighting-themed roller coaster in Arlington, Texas:

People go to Six Flags for fun and thrills, not to glorify the torment of bulls who are lanced, stabbed, and have their spines hacked apart in the bullring. PETA urges Six Flags to stick to the Spanish meaning of “Tormenta,” a storm, and leave the bulls out of it.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to use for entertainment or abuse in any other way”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kitsfor people who need a lesson in kindness.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
