The Hound is disappointed to hear that there might not be any cockroach eating contests this fall at Six Flags Great America's annual Fright Fest. Like cats, they taste just like chicken. For all you cockroach-eating aficionadoes, you'll just have to travel to Madagascar and hunt for those giant hissing roaches.
Six Flags corporate folks apparently have caved into complaints by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who protested the past two years the downing of the live cockroaches during the Halloween-inspired Fright Fest. They've made the decision to ban the event at the Six Flags Magic Mountain in California, although the Gurnee park is still on the bubble. Those PETA folks sure know how to take the fun out of things.
The Hound doesn't see theses vegans complaining about the eating of crickets, nightcrawlers or wax worms, which are also served up at Great America's fall festivities. Park goers eat the creatures to earn front-of-the-line passes to rides and year passes.
PETA's bluenoses called the Six Flags decision "compassionate", calling the eating of the bugs, "insect abuse." Would they have the same feelings about eating mosquitoes?
Bon appetit, PETA. And just eat it.
