Imagine the following scenario. You're going to your favorite theme park . You're feeling excited, fidgety, and sugar hyped. Then as soon as you walk through the gate, you're confronted with this-






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!
