I don’t like the name PETA. I could go on as to why, but I don’t want to be vulgar.

So, your first name is Pet and your last name begins with an A?

I’ve heard that if the hens drink too much they lay pickled eggs.

Have you ever had those dark chocolates with liquor inside?

If you feed them beer, it’s hard boiled with a Guinness center. Would make an Irishman cry....

An organiztion nemed PETA shouldn’t be casting stones in glass houses. Their name sounds like a phallic symbols itself...

PETA director Mimi Bekhechi said the name should be changed to “Ye Olde Clever Cocks” because that would “celebrate chickens as the intelligent, sensitive and social animals they are,” according to an article in the Mirror.

Hmm..

Notre Dame

“Ye Olde Clever Irish”

Maybe they are on to something!

Doesn’t Norte Dame have a chess club.

> Next thing you know, they'll be holding funerals for frozen chickens.

Please, PLEASE, tell me that was satire.

Some days I'm so embarrassed by my fellow human beings...

On the one hand, I'm proud that my Nation is so free as to allow these idiots to put on this show. On the other hand, what a pack of idiots.

I demand PETA change their name because it is offensive to people named Peter.

As Foghorn Leghorn would say, "I say I say those folk bout as sharp as a bowlin' ball."

I think the term "cocks" has the other meaning than what PETA's referring to here.

The problem is that in this day and age, the pub will probably give in to this lunacy.

Lol! No. Sounds too much like WeeWeeTa. That’s the direction I was going. They don’t like the way a name is? I don’t either —— with theirs.

No - It was real.

They had to call the cops to get rid of the PETA creeps.
