This is the estate of Dr. Seuss controlling their own intellectual property because times change and they want to protect their brand. Black people are animals in cages in one of these books, that is not acceptable. Dr. Seuss was not evil, but he was insensitive for the times and wrote stuff considered racist today. His estate has every right to control their intellectual property as they see fit.
