PETA calls for MLB to change the "bullpen" to "arm barn"

Unread post by bmw »

In today's day and age, I wouldn't be shocked if the MLB takes this request seriously.
In a Thursday statement, the animal rights group said the term "references the holding area where terrified bulls are kept before slaughter."
...
"Words matter, and baseball 'bullpens' devalue talented players and mock the misery of sensitive animals," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in the statement. "PETA encourages Major League Baseball coaches, announcers, players, and fans to change up their language and embrace the 'arm barn' instead."

Most top relievers are thrown into tough situations, a.k.a. the meat grinder.

Wonder if they will ask Boeing to rename the cockpit?
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

PETA has good overall goals, but their methods to get there are fucked up.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Agreed. This kind of stuff is why no one takes them seriously. How many fucking bulls and cows did they sample to get this opinion?

The other PETA....People for the ethical treatment of Amputees are just fine with bull pen and vehemently object to arm barn.
