But filmmakers behind a new adaptation of the much-loved tale have been forced to apologise after facing calls for it to be withdrawn from cinemas over a scene in which the protagonist and his frry friends

#PeterRabbitMovie @SonyPictures Would you laugh at a person with diabetes force fed sugar? No. But that's exactly what you're doing in your movie: continuing to marginalize people with #foodallergies. So throw an allergen at someone? I'm coming for you. # Boycott PeterRabbit

As a father I will be boycotting the Peter Rabbit film so that my children are not encouraged to bully people with allergies, or to be anthropomorphic rabbits

Warning For those who have children that live with food allergies (like mine), do NOT go see the new Peter Rabbit movie. Finding “humor” in bullying by Peter & friends to an allergy friend (who then needs an Epi) is sickening. Shame on @SonyPictures #

The new movie, Peter Rabbit, has a scene that may be disturbing to young viewers who have a food allergy.

Kids With Food Allergies Foundation Like This Page February 9 Edited The new movie, Peter Rabbit, has a scene that may be disturbing to young viewers who have a food allergy. A character is intentionally attacked with his allergen, leading to anaphylaxis and the use of epinephrine. Parents should be aware of this before your children see the movie so you can talk with your child(ren) about it. KFA believes that food allergy "jokes" are harmful to our community. During a reaction, patients require the life-saving drug epinephrine and must go to the nearest hospital for follow-up treatment. The very real fear and anxiety that people experience during an allergic reaction (often referred to as an impending sense of doom) is a serious matter. Making light of this condition hurts our members because it encourages the public not to take the risk of allergic reactions seriously, and this cavalier attitude may make them act in ways that could put an allergic person in danger Read our letter to Sony Pictures and the other makers of this film: https:// community.kidswithfoodallergies.org/blog/letter-to- WARNING the-peter-rabbit-movie-jokes- about-food-allergies-can-put-people-in-danger bLike Comment 、Share 4.8K Top Comments ▼ Write a comment...
