PETA Goes After MLB Bullpen
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals don’t like the term “bullpen” as its used in Major League Baseball. They would like for the league to use the term “Arm Barn’ instead.
Finally tackling the big problems eh?
“Bullpen” refers to the area of a “bull’s pen” where bulls are held before they are slaughtered—it’s a word with speciesist roots & we can do better than that.
Switching to “arm barn” would be a home run for baseball fans, players, and animals 💪⚾️ pic.twitter.com/2FzSpDG9mQ
