Elvira is not happy with the Georgia Aquarium’s upcoming “Georgia A-Scary-Um” party. In a letter sent today on PETA’s behalf to aquarium officials, the Mistress of the Dark takes the aquarium to task for its “disturbing” plan to play Halloween music throughout the aquarium during this weekend’s bash, despite the fact that three aquarium employees have complained that the loud music aggravates some of the animals and causes them to fight. Her letter comes less than a month after the aquarium attracted controversy for throwing a noisy dance party for Atlanta Pride, after which PETA filed a formal complaint.
“What are you attempting to run—an educational facility or a Studio 54 knock-off?” writes Elvira. “Anyone who has ever thrown a party knows that loud music and strangers frighten many domestic animals, and their guardians often put them in a safe room away from the noise. PETA’s formal complaint states that three separate aquarium employees said that many of the confined wild animals become aggravated and even fight when the music gets pumping—and they have no safe room to escape to. This disturbs me more than Freddy vs.Jason.”
