Disney’s “Jungle Ride” operators at Disneyland will no longer carry blank-firing pistols, as the “script” has been changed to no longer fire at the animatronic hippos “attacking” the boat.
PETA spokeswoman, Debbie Leahy, applauded the move, telling the LA Times, “If it was a fantasy baby or fantasy toddler, I don’t think somebody would find it funny. Clearly we should not be accepting it for a hippo.”
Doubtless other Politically Correct changes to the ride (which features African headhunters, native guides, and many other threatening animals, not to mention traditionally some of the best operator dialog at the park) will soon be coming.
