June 18, 2009 at 11:24 am by ojrifkin · More posts about:2009 Nathan's Hot Dog Contest, New York City

(Via eater) The Brooklyn Papers reports that Coney Island will host a hot dog bun eating contest between three unnamed humans and three elephants from the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus on July 3. George Shea has the following quote:

“When most people see elephants, they see the majesty of nature. To me, I see an arrogant animal that needs to be taken down a notch,” said an unabashedly pro-human Shea.


Comedienne Lily Tomlin protested the elephants’ Coney Island appearance before the eating contest was announced.
