Parents Are Petitioning After THIS Toy Was Seen On The Shelves Of Walmart…
By Dreamer
When your child asks for a new toy, you expect it to be a plastic car, aeroplane, doll or action figure. So, parents were a little bit shocked when they saw Walmart’s latest toy on the shelves.
These little piggies have to get to market somehow. And what better way to get them there than with your very own slaughterhouse truck?
So, what is this toy exactly you ask? Are you ready for this? It’s a slaughterhouse truck. Not an ice cream truck, or a Barbie sports car, oh no.
Sure, it’s a toy. But the idea of selling animal slaughter as the stuff of child’s play isn’t sitting well with animal welfare groups.

Now, many are calling on Walmart to stop selling the toy vehicle in an online petition….
“As a trucker, seeing these in real life is no treat,” wrote Susan Schindler of New Jersey, one of more than 4,000 people who signed the petition. “The reality is violence. Do not support desensitization of children.”
With around 11,500 stores worldwide, Walmart are a major influencer over what kids will be asking for this holiday season.
Will this truck be on some enterprising little tyke’s list? PETA are a little furious that it very well could be…
“A slaughter truck shouldn’t be endorsed as a toy,” wrote Brittany Sawyer of Virginia on the petition. “It isn’t fun, it isn’t neat, it isn’t something I would want my kids to enjoy playing with.”
Walmart have not yet responded to a request for comment. But we are sure they would come fighting back.
What do you think? Do you think kids should know about what happens in the real world? Or is this just too gruesome for you to bear?
