Plus, Petting Zoos - Ick

PETA wants the Eastern States Exposition, the annual fair in western Massachusetts known as the "Big E," to cut ties with a firm that provides it with elephant rides and a petting zoo, because, well, you can figure it out -- elephants and animals exploited and mistreated. And how you feel about this depends on how you feel about animals used as entertainment in general. I'm not a fan; I don't know if I'd go so far as to ban it, but it is weird to trot these creatures out like this. The poor things probably have no idea what's going on, and it may not be a lot of fun for them. (Springfield Republican)
