Eat the roach
PETA Upset At Six Flags Roach-Eating ContestPOSTED: 2:40 pm EDT September 24, 2006
GURNEE, Ill. -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Six Flags Great America to scrap its Halloween-themed cockroach-eating promotion.
A spokeswoman for the animal rights organization said the contest at the amusement park's FrightFest is "gratuitously cruel."
The park in Gurnee, Illinois, is joining other Six Flags parks in offering unlimited line-jumping privileges to anyone who eats a live Madagascar hissing cockroach. The bugs are up to three inches long.
