Is your foot tingling? Do you feel the uncontrollable
urge to sneak up behind this cheery, innocent Pantomime Rabbit and boot
him in his big, cushy behind? Of course you do! You probably wore your
steel toed boots today for just that purpose.
A lot of people think it's okay to treat Pantomime Animals
this way. "That's what they're paid for" they say. "When you go to a theme
park, part of the whole experience is letting your kid kick the crap out
of a mascot. It's all in good fun!"
It's this ignorant attitude that we have to fight. All
that Pantomime Animals want to do is to entertain. They carry on through
all weathers, never wavering, always ready to turn around and hug the small
child that just assaulted them with a stick of fairy floss.
So next time you're at a fun park, give these hardworking
souls a hug- instead of a swift kick in the arse. You CAN make a difference!
