People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has tweeted something that earned them congratulations:
I’ve worked my whole Twitter life to craft a tweet this ridiculous and have never succeeded, congratulations

It has to do with baseball using the term “bullpen.” PETA has suggested a replacement name because life these days isn’t quite ridiculous enough:
“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

Considering what we’ve seen from the MLB leadership these past couple years, we wouldn’t doubt that somebody will at least seriously consider PETA’s proposal.
Yes, bulls will be way less triggered if this change is made. 🙄https://t.co/Ep2Jnb3AQ1

Protecting the feelings of bulls is job one! As usual, PETA’s tweet generated plenty of responses featuring delicious-looking food:

But rename the dining room where it’s eaten the “Arm Barn” so maybe PETA won’t mind as much.

Wait until PETA finds out what baseballs are made of. https://t.co/Jb5TTWIcF8

One of the few remaining bipartisan trends in America is people from all walks of life thinking @PETA is a joke. https://t.co/Rh6hwpuVSe

I’m convinced that this account is run by someone who’s trying to bring PETA down from the inside https://t.co/XNt3dZCGg8

They tend to outdo themselves each week.
