PETA TO MLB RENAME 'BULLPEN' TO 'ARM BARN'!!! ... It's Insensitive To Cows
TMZ ^ | 10/28/2021

Posted on 10/28/2021 10:36:51 AM PDT by BenLurkin

"Words matter, and baseball 'bullpens' devalue talented players and mock the misery of sensitive animals," PETA exec Tracy Reiman said.

The org. added that it's all a problem because bullpens are places where cows go before they're slaughtered on farms ... and where the animals go before they're treated poorly at rodeos.

"Strike out the word 'bullpen,' which references the holding area where terrified bulls are kept before slaughter," PETA said, "in favor of a more modern, animal-friendly term."

Why is the bullpen called the bullpen?

Latecomers to ball games in the late 19th century were cordoned off into standing-room areas in foul territory.

Because the fans were herded like cattle, this area became known as the “bullpen”, a designation which was later transferred over to the relief pitchers who warmed up there.

They’re just trying to distract from Fauci and the Beagles.

Barking up the wrong tree. PETA needs to focus and expose Dr. Fauci and his gain of function experiments.

Also I want that cow.

But, but, but, the barn is where cows are kept while their milk is stolen from them to give to undeserving humans, and causing the mass deaths of milk-starved calves. Call it the “MLB safe space for pitching snowflakes.{

I thought it was because the pen was situated near or under the “Bull Durham” tobacco sign. In any event, the children over at peta have no sense of knowledge of baseball history...just their feelings. And, to quote the great Dave Chappelle, “America doesn’t give a f*** about your feelings”

What the far left actually believes: Language is root cause of all the evil in the world (except when we use it, which is always “for the greater good”). Language is employed to discriminate against and among animals, plants, fellow humans, and inanimate material. If we ended the use of languages of any sort and resorted to a vegetable existence, things would be wonderful.
