Walmart has come under fire from angry parents accusing the store of selling "Slaughter Trucks" to kids. Parents say the toy too closely resembles trucks that transport animals to slaughter houses where animals are killed and processed for food.

Animal rights activists have joined in as well saying that a toy like this desensitizes children to violence against animals. Now, this truck is not actually an animal slaughter house transport truck, it just looks way too much like one according to some parents.

Some have joined in to defend the toy saying that trucks like this are not designated slaughter trucks, but are also used to transport livestock that have been sold or to new grazing areas.

The toy is simply labeled as a livestock transport truck.

According to roasted.com Walmart has decided to pull the toy from their shelves.

I guess I'm pretty dense, because I've seen these trucks my entire life and never once thought of a slaughter house. I just thought they were used to transport livestock from one place to another.

What do you think, should these trucks be pulled from Walmart's shelves?
