After the Fairport Harbor, Ohio, Mardi Gras Concessions Committee heard from PETA concerning its use of live rabbits as prizes each year, the committee decided to discontinue the practice. Going a step further, the committee even sent a letter to all vendors who attend the event mandating that tickets redeemable at local pet stores not be given away either.

“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
