WASHINGTON (AP) - After more than a century behind bars, the beasts on boxes of animal crackers are roaming free.

Mondelez International, the parent company of Nabisco, has redesigned the packaging of its Barnum's Animals crackers after relenting to pressure from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

PETA, which has been protesting the use of animals in circuses for more than 30 years, wrote a letter to Mondelez in the spring of 2016 calling for a redesign.

I'm mad at Nabisco. I was in Sam's the other day and the "Sample Ladies" were giving out samples of supposedly Fig Newtons. I looked at the package and it contained 2 flavors and neither one was fig. I was in Fiesta and none of the Newtons were fig. Shame on Nabisco. Bring back the Real Fig Newton.

My maternal grandpa use to buy these for me when I was a kid. Phooey. I loved them back then.

If it wasn’t broken for 116 years, why fix it?

Agreed.  If Soylent Green ever becomes real, I hope the first feedstock is PETA members.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Picking on Graphics of Animal crackers?  The PETA pukes should reacquire some balls and start disrupting Fishing Rodeos again.   :silly:

I understand those didn't go to well.   :silly: :silly:

Do these also come with marked assholes as do the animal crackers?

Pardon me for thinking the new package is an artistic improvement and a better use of the given space than the cage motif.

That being said, PETA is and always will be an organization built on ludicrous principles.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
