PETA’s idiocy extends far beyond U.S. borders, and now the animal rights extremists are lobbying the village of Wool in England to change its name to Vegan Wool to promote veganism and kindness to sheep.
PETA asks 1,000-year-old village called 'Wool' to rename itself because it ‘promotes cruelty to sheep’ https://t.co/diPXJKgDUQ

As the Daily Mail reports, the name of the village, which dates back to the 11th Century, doesn’t even refer to wool, but is rather an update of the Anglo-Saxon word “welle,” or a water spring.
Still, surely the village would want to change its name to Vegan Wool to “inspire local people to seek out cruelty-free clothing.”
The name “Wool” doesn’t come from the product. It comes from the Saxon word for a stream. Tel PETA to stick their idea where the sun don’t shine!

It's got nothing to do with bloody sheep…. the name comes from an ancient word meaning 'spring'…. as in water from the ground!….. absolute buffoonery by a group of buffoons

Really!!!!!?????? Good god!!!! Sheep need shearing, not at all cruel!! What would be cruel is to let the sheep ‘roast’ away in big fur coats during the summer months!!!

1. It's literally just a name.
2. Sheep need their wool sheared, otherwise they won't be able to walk— ·.¸¸.·♩♪♫ ????? ♫♪♩·.¸¸.· (@DEADLY_ARMY7) November 23, 2018

They should rename it. Maybe something more appropriate, like "Woolforeverfuckyoupeta"

PETA is a parody of an organization that cares about animals.
