Though the Peppa Pig Theme Park in North Richland Hills has yet to open, it's already drawing criticism for its potential menu.
In a letter posted online, PETA has called for the park to serve only a fully vegan menu, as kids visiting the park "don't want to eat animals."
PETA's senior director Danielle Katz wrote in the letter, "None of Peppa's friends or family should be exploited or eaten, so we urge you to serve only vegan foods at your theme parks.
"Surely, Miss Rabbit would never butcher her chicken friends to serve nuggets or take a mama cow's milk — meant for her babies — to make cheese pizza."
Per the Dallas Morning News, the park, which is scheduled to open later this year, will be the second Peppa Pig Theme Park in the country, behind the location in central Florida.
If the park in North Texas has a similar menu, the park will offer animal products, but no pig. PETA wants the park to follow their rule for serving pigs for all other animals.
Katz continued in her letter, "Just as you decided to leave pig flesh off the menu at your Florida theme park, we expect you'll do the same in Texas, given that pigs are intelligent, playful, and affectionate beings—just like Peppa herself.
"You clearly recognize the irony of selling pig meat, so why sell products made from other exploited animals like Carol Cow or Mrs. Cow? Just like pigs, cows and other animals are friends, not food."
