Peta calls for pork-free menus as Peppa Pig show rolls into Grimsby
Children's theatre | The Guardian: Campaigners are calling on theatre bosses to stop serving bacon, sausages and ham in their cafes – at least while Peppa Pig and her family are performing in the same building.
Grimsby Auditorium in Lincolnshire said this week it would remove pork from the menu when Peppa Pig’s Big Family Show opens next month, after a request from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta UK). The campaign group is sending the venue vegan ham as an alternative.

This is so hilarious. I have many questions. How did PETA even know about this Peppa Pig show? Are they just constantly keeping tabs on shows about animals? How did they zero in on this specific family Peppa Pig production to scrutinize the menu of? Then it gets funnier when you read that PETA is sending vegan ham as an alternative, and then it gets just completely hysterical when you read “all pigs are individuals with personalities and not body parts to be chopped up.” I didn’t even really know that this was PETA’s purview, I also didn’t know that they had such strong opinions about the eating of meat. I knew they wanted to protect animals and stop animal exploitation but I didn’t know they were against eating meat altogether. On a serious note though, this does demonstrate how you really should consider every aspect of your production’s experience, including what happens before and after the show in the lobby and in the theater cafe.
