Some angry shoppers are crying wee-wee-wee with rage all the way home over a children’s toy being sold at Walmart.
A change.org petition is asking the retailer to stop selling toy trucks with live stock trailers the are “Normalizing the enslavement and murder of animals to kids.”
A comment on the petition by one of the more than 10,000 supporters reads: “As a trucker, seeing these in real life is no treat. The reality is violence. Do not support desensitization of children. This “toy” is no different than a slave train combined with a coroner’s wagon. Auschwitz mentality is immoral & degrading.”
Another comment by Nicole Maturi from Maryland states: “Glorifying and normalizing slavery, abuse and slaughter is just disgusting.”
Walmart’s online listing describes the toy as “Exceptionally detailed 1:32 Peterbilt Model 579 Semi Cab with Livestock Trailer provides hours of great play value. The opening rear trailer door allows the child easy play access.”
What do you think? Has this toy gone too far?
