Animal rights group PETA has taken exception to the name of a tiny Tasmanian community called Eggs and Bacon Bay, and has recommended it be changed to Apple and Cherry Bay, to promote a healthier, vegan diet. And it's not even joking.
"Obviously Tasmania is known as the Apple Isle and the Huon Valley produces a lot of apples and cherries, and we think it's a much better, kinder, compassionate and healthy name for this particular area," PETA Australia campaign coordinator Claire Fryer told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
"Considering the high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat in both eggs and bacon, the area might as well be called Heart Attack Bay. This name change could be just what the doctor ordered."
The group has reportedly written to the local Huon Valley Council requesting the name change, and the mayor said he's willing to consider the idea.
But it probably won't go over well with his constituents.
"These single-interest groups ought to go overseas and annoy the s--- out of ISIS," a local resident named Doug told ABC. "There's plenty of room in the world for them to go and annoy other people and leave us in peace."
The area apparently got its name from the colours of the wildflowers that dot the shoreline.
PETA requires constant attention seeking stunts to drive their funding which pays its elite staff and funds additional attention seeking stunts.
I really don’t understand this. Change a name like bacon to apple...it is still bacon. Will the new name have to be changed down the road too?
This is what happens in a society where the structure makes it possible for worthless people to breed and continue their idiocy from generation to generation.
They have too much idle time because somehow, some way, the government provides them subsistence in one manner or another. Whether that assistance is financial or intellectual pandering to outrageous whims, the effect is the same.
They provide no value added to society. Far worse, actually - they border on mentally defective self haters.
EFF peta.
Grain Embryos & Tofu Bay?
Didn’t the wackos want Fishkill NY to change its name?
Again, I have this sudden urge to write a letter to PETA. One of these days...
Ridiculous, even by PETA standards. Broccoli is MURDER!
There’s a wildflower called butter-and-eggs. Can’t have that.
Are you going to ask them if they know where the sun don't shine?
They have not been following the latest research. Dietary cholesterol has no impact on blood serum cholesterol levels.
Don’t put that into writing. I suggest sending a picture so there is no doubt.
How about FUPITA Bay?
Roger that.
There are bacon and eggs wildflowers? It would be awesome if they smell and taste like the real thing.
Rename it French Fried PETA or PETA Sunnyside Down or PETA Hash or Hard Boiled PETA or Spotted PETA and Bangers.
They know who they are and where the sun don’t shine. They need to be reminded that it’s their problem if they regret being born a human being.
