The Pink Taco restaurant was subject to criticism from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Companion Animal Protection Society after an event in whch it painted a donkey pink and put it on display during hot weather last week, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday. Advertisement CAPS said the donkey appeared to be in distress in video footage of the promotion. PETA said it received a promise from the restaurant's owner "not to use animals at our events and promotions and we are looking forward to ... discussing how we can work together in the future."
