Score one for PETA.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has gotten Nabisco to change the picture on its animal cracker boxes so the animals appear in an uncaged state.

For years the company's "Barnum's Animals" snacks came in a box that showed lions, polar bears, gorillas and elephants behind the bars of a circus boxcar.

PETA, which has spent decades protesting the use of animals in circuses, wrote a letter to Nabisco's parent, Mondelez International, asking for the box that contains "Barnum's Animals" to get a new look.

Given the egregious cruelty inherent in circuses that use animals and the publics swelling opposition to the exploitation of animals used for entertainment, we urge Nabisco to update its packaging in order to show animals who are free to roam in their natural habitats, PETA said in its letter to Mondelez, according to the New York Post.

The company agreed and now the animals appear roaming -- or at least posing -- freely.

"When PETA reached out about Barnums, we saw this as another great opportunity to continue to keep this brand modern and contemporary, Jason Levine, Mondelezs chief marketing officer for North America, said in a statement.

I didn't even know some people gave a shit, but alright I guess.

PETA is legitimately one of the worst, most evil organizations on the planet. They'll do anything for attention that distracts people from the fact that they kill more animals than they save.

Real circuses have seen a huge decline irl due to concerns about animal treatment, so it makes sense for Nabisco to get with the times.

But sure let's mock this because it isn't the single biggest issue facing humanity today

The 'circus cart' box has been pretty pointless since the wheels disappeared, and also since circuses disappeared.

It isn't an issue at all. It's not a micro-issue or a nano-issue, this is just shallow attempt to fight what they think is the normalization of caged wild animals. And that is so tragically stupid, I can't comment further under the tos.

edit, Hell, yuo said it yourself, the circus is in decline, that's without trying to change acceptance through box art.

This lol

If it were me, I'd be like "you know what, why don't we draw them flying airplanes or something?"

And then there would be like ten new lines of Animal crackers. Pilot animal crackers, doctor animal crackers, race car driver animal crackers...

Animals are important members of our society and it's time our snacks reflected that.

Circuses died because busybodies pitched a fit to get the animals were removed, then everyone realized there's no point in going to a circus without elephants and tigers.

Since the NRA kills animals, that is the purpose of having a gun for hunting after all, I guess you're saying PETA kills people? o.O

Reminds of the outrage when a trillion people signed that Death Star petition then some government article got published explaining how much it would cost to build a Death Star, the current national debt and how they're currently allocating R&D and space travel funding.

If you're gonna get pissed off over 20 manminutes of labor, maybe you shouldn't give them that 20 manminutes to do "for the lolz."

Goodness. It was a depiction of a zoo. People love to talk shit about zoos and aquariums, but many of the animals are being rehabilitated or were otherwise unable to survive in the wild.

My opinion is that animal abuse should have a much harsh penalty, but peta diverts their resources to wage wars like this, when they could be building cases to propose new legislation to help their cause.

While Peta has done some things to be hated for this is not one of them. Animals are mistreated in circuses and this might seem like a small change, but it's a step in the right direction.
