    Hmmm, ya know I wonder if somebody who lost someone due to a wild animal escaping a cage at a zoo or some other place, called the company to complain and put the animals back in the cages.....would they do it ?

    Nope.

    That is ridiculous.

    Yeah, some people have too much time on their hands.

    I won't talk about my run in with PETA after a fishing trip.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    Seems kind of dangerous to take the chance of those crackers escaping the box and waging havoc in the neighborhood.

    Kind of scary if you think about it.

    I need a safe space and a cupcake.

    Man, if elephants mourned their dead or chimps forged lifelong companionships or if dolphins have been known to save humans, then maybe this would make sense. Oh well...

    What better way to ensure that children don't get the wrong idea about animal welfare, I say. I support the proper portrayal of the animals' respective roles in the wild in the imagery on the boxes of the nutritious, sugary snacks we feed them. You know, all hanging out together, and smiling.

    PETA is based in the next city over from me.
    I'm sure like to think they do some good, but man, some of this stuff is... not as good as other stuff. Kinda makes me want to go searching for a Sarah McLachlan commercial. Now there's a cause I can get behind.

    Thanks for the head-shake fodder, Paul. Look, it's even got Micah talking like an old man - "Why, in my-y day-y... I could get my animal crackers in cages! Where's my-y sippy cup, dagnabbit! Mom!"
    I disabled signatures.

    Well I for one refuse to get angry over a cookie box. Who really cares? Besides the new box looks pretty snazzy compared to the old.

    There never was an elephant in a cage!

    Just think about this...VVV

    The kids are about to eat the shapes of these animals!!

    In other words, why does it matter if the animals are in a cage or free ranging it.

    It's crazy.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
