Actor Alec Baldwin fired off against the folks putting on the « Radio City Christmas Spectacular, » urging that this year be the last the iconic holiday staple uses live animals as part of the show’s Nativity scene.
Alec Baldwin is feeling sheepish about live animals taking the stage at Radio City Music Hall this Christmas season.
The “30 Rock” star fired off a missive at the folks putting on the “Radio City Christmas Spectacular,” asking for 2023 to be the last year that live animals are used in the iconic holiday production’s Nativity scene.
In a letter written Thursday on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Baldwin asked James Dolan, the CEO of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corporation, which owns the venue, to stop using donkeys, camels and sheep as part of the yearly musical show.
“The Christmas Spectacular already features extremely talented human performers, and reinventing the iconic show to be animal-free would bring it into the modern era and truly align it with the Christmas spirit,” Baldwin wrote.
