A vegan association wants to ban cookies in the shape of animals

For years, the most consumed and most famous cookies in the world they were those who had animal forms. Giraffes, rhinos, crocodiles and elephants were foods in high demand by the little ones. However, over time its production has decreased as well as its consumption around the world.

However, it is still possible to find some brands that come with traditional vanilla cookies in these types of shapes. But everything was going to change. Recently, the French NGO Vegan society launched a campaign, calling for a global ban of these cookies. He alleges that this presentation is “offensive and disrespectful” and has attacked producers and distributors.

Depending on what they themselves have been able to express in their order, the consumption of these cookies “Promotes a feeling of superiority over other living things” and that the simple consumption of a cookie in the shape of an animal is a dinosaur or an elephant, “It generates offensive behavior with the environment.”

Your intention is in completely remove this format and they not only point to cookies that have an animal component in their preparation, but also they want to eradicate those who are purely vegans. In this sense, the local media asked the professor of sociology at Monmouth University, from a point of view, the impact of these forms on people.

“Let us reiterate to children their privileged access to the natural world. Being able to “collect” animals, to handle them and to eat them underlines the notion of human supremacy over other species “, specifies the specialist. “I understand the reasoning, but if they continue at this rate, there will be things to forbid”, added.

While the idea seemed a bit odd in networking, there is precedent that protects Vegan society with your order. Years ago, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) launched a similar campaign aimed at than a cookie maker to remove from its packaging to images of animals in their cages.
