PETA Wants ‘Bullpen’ Name Changed To ‘Arm Barn’
(New York, NY) — With the World Series underway, animal rights activists think now is the time for change in the baseball world. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, is calling for re-naming baseball’s bullpen. That’s what they call the area where pitchers warm up, but PETA says it’s also the term for the place where “terrified bulls are kept before slaughter.” They want baseball to adopt a more animal-friendly term, suggesting “arm barn.” Reaction on Twitter is a combination of “that’s stupid” and “I can’t believe I love this.”
