After receiving complaints, PETA contacted the management of Six Flags Theme Parks to dissuade them from repeating a 2007 Fright Fest stunt in which patrons were challenged to eat live Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Six Flags responded that all its parks will be leaving the cockroaches alone this year and moving on to “Fright Fest events that do not include any living creatures!”

“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
