PETA Sent A Letter To Disney Telling Them To Serve Vegan Meals To The The Cast And Crew Of The ‘The Little Mermaid’

PETA is sent the cast and crew of the live-action film “The Little Mermaid” a public service announcement: don’t eat fish or any animal while in production.

We’re all looking forward to seeing our girl Halle Bailey become the princess of the sea, Ariel, in the upcoming and highly anticipated film “The Little Mermaid.” But, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wants to make sure no animals will be harmed in the making of the film.

On Wednesday, PETA sent a letter to Disney urging the Little Mermaid production not to consume any fish and only serve the cast and crew vegan food. This works out perfectly for Halle, as she’s already vegan.

“Disney’s The Little Mermaid got it right in 1989—fish are intelligent, emotionally complex, and playful, and they experience pain just like we do. I’m writing on behalf of the many Disney fans at PETA and animal advocates everywhere to ask that the live-action production be completely Flounder-friendly by providing only tasty, vegan, fish-free food for the cast and crew on set,” reads the letter.

It continued: “Ariel would recoil with horror at the thought of eating her pelagic pals — and the 1989 film even includes a scene in which Sebastian the crab escapes a ruthless chef,” says PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange. “PETA’s message to Disney is simple: Fish are our friends — not hors d’œuvres.”
