New Developments

This last weekend was without a doubt a very busy weekend for us at the AAHCS.  We've made progress while also adding to our list of enemies.

This past weekend a very special event was held at Six Flags Magic Mountain, in Valenica, CA.  However, due to conflicts in scheduling, an AAHCS representative was not present to document the event.  Robb Alvey, owner of Theme Park Review and loyal supporter of the AAHCS was on hand to document the festivities. 

"Well it was epic.  They brought out their old animatronic

hippo from the Granny Grand Prix ride.  We had a ceremony,

and released it into the wild."

- Robb Alvey

We also recently received an anonymous tip from our secret informant Christopher Lundy.  He reported to us that the Jungle Cruise attraction has aquired a new sponser.  Current Jungle Cruise Murderers Skippers are now using the following in their spiel...

"The Jungle Cruise has been brought to you today by the Hippo

Farmers of America.  Hippo: The other-other white meat."

We here at the AAHCS are appalled, as usual, by Disney's corporate greed.  We did some digging and were horrified to find that through their deal with the HFA, Disney is being supplied with hippo meat product which is unknowingly being served in the parks!  It is sickening that hippos both real and animatronic have such little meaning to these corporate bureaucrats.

The next disturbing bit of news was uncovered via Disney's own facebook page. 

Famous Hollywood actor, Seth Rogen, is now on file saying he "...wanted to be the guy who ran the Jungle Cruise, and shoot cap guns at animals."

We find it sickening that our culture has become so desensitized to violence toward animatronic animals. With Seth Rogen willing to be their poster-boy, it's only a matter of time before Hollywood begins to cash in on this trend.   Instead of Observe and Report, Pineapple Express, and Zach and Miri Make a Porno we'll begin seeing films like Observe and Shoot, Pineapple Whip, yum... no wait... Kill Hippo Express, and Zach and Miri Shoot a Hippo.

Finally, Knott's Berry Farm held a press conference last Sunday during which the following question was asked...  (Skip ahead to 24:40 mark)



It troubles us that Knott's representatives handled the question in such a light-hearted way.  The situation of our hippo friends has never been so dire.  The time for laughing is over.  We need to roll up our sleeves and get to work for this cause before it is too late.

Thank you for your continued support!
