Dear Aaaaaaa, Toy maker Mattel has made strides over the years to stay relevant and become more inclusive, and Barbie has even been a longtime fur-free animal advocate, which is great. But she's also made some mistakes that can hurt animals—and this isn't her first slipup. Mattel took yet another giant step away from compassion with this Barbie doll who rides an elephant. Oh, heck no! This toy makes it seem like riding elephants is fun for everyone, but real-life elephant rides always involve abuse—and have even resulted in human deaths—which is why this toy sends a message that's dangerous for everyone involved. We need your help to let Mattel know that Barbie shouldn't be promoting elephant rides. Please ask any kids you know to speak up for elephants. Thank you for your compassion for animals. Best regards, |
