If you have attended the 2016 Rose parade and wondered about the unauthorized Parade entry of three mules, the mystery is solved.
By Brian Rodriguez
The message turned out to be highlighted with environmental concerns. According to their website, The Mules received an email from Pasadena Police Department on Friday, January 8, 2016 stating the folowing:
Sir, my name is Paul Carpenter. I am Sergeant with the Pasadena Police Department and I work in our Event Planning Section which works to police special events in the city. I understand you inserted yourself and your mules in the Tournament of Roses Parade last week and that was not the first time. The Tournament of Roses carefully selects the participants that they allow in the parade and, as you can imagine, an unauthorized entry is a concern for me, from a security perspective. I am sure that you mean absolutely no harm to the parade or any of the parade goers, however we cannot have your, or any one else, inserting themselves into the parade.
If you have any questions of if you wish to discuss this any further, please contact me at the email listed above.
Thank you,
Sgt. Paul Carpenter

The Mules assured that they won’t insert themselves in the Parade again, and replied with the following:
The Mules do understand your concern of the Mules inserting themselves into the Rose Parade. We respect the necessary job of police agencies. We will not insert ourselves again into the Rose Parade. That being said we feel it necessary to state the reason we did so.
The Megatropolis* uses the Rose Parade to put its best side out for all to see and tell us all the great things its done and continues to do. However, there is two sides to every coin. The catastrophic consequences of what it is doing are not being shown.
The Megatropolis uses the parade to hide its tracks, the extreme destructive consequences of its activity on earth. Current examples of this destruction include the methane gas leak going on right now in Porter Ranch, California with 1800 people evacuated from their homes and the poisoned water supply in Flint, Michigan destroying lives of the future generations. Just the tip of the iceberg.
The Mules know they cannot just stand by and watch the destruction of life on earth. We are driven to do something, so we walk peacefully all day every day and carry and spread the message of the energy that surrounds us and envelopes us that the human race must create a new path and adjust its course if we are to live on this earth.

Although they promised not to insert themselves in the Parade, we sure hope The Mules will keep attending for years to come!
*Megatropolis (according to The Mules)
The Megatropolis is the man-made world, spreading sprawling concrete, putting up lanes, putting up buildings everywhere, it wants all the remaining open space and it is unrelenting. It doesn’t want any other venues (pedestrians, cyclists equestrians) to use the public thoroughfare except for its most favorite tool, the automobile.
