PETA asks 1000-year-old village of Wool to change its name to 'Vegan Wool'

Animal rights organisation PETA has called for a 1000-year-old village to change its name to ‘Vegan Wool’ to raise awareness of animal cruelty.

PETA has demanded that the village in Dorset, southern UK, change its name from Wool to raise awareness about cruelty in the British wool industry.

I've believed for a long time PETA at its core is simply a performance comedy act that along the way picked up some dumb white yuppie true believers.

What do vegans feed their pet dogs/cats ?

‘Acrylic’ would be more accurate.

I hope the village told PETA to fuck off....

Peta are fucking terrorists and as worthless and abusive to animals as those they campaign against. monsters.

They pulled a similar stunt with the town of Rodeo in Northern California, offering a few cases of vegan patties as compensation. Mind you that a town changing its name would have a not insignificant economic impact for businesses (all small in a town like that) that would have to change all sorts of documents, signage, etc. plus the headache for the post office.

They're first class idiots - they tried the same crap several years ago with the towns of kildeer or kilbuck - ignoring the fact that kil in these contexts has to do with flow of a river as opposed to ending a life ---- and i was watching a movie the other day and they censored the closed captioning for the word cocktail. I hope the second age of reason comes along before I croak. But I have a feeling the age of idiocy will be here for awhile...

I hate it when serious animal activists or well meaning public figures promote something that comes from PETA. Everyone should know by now what insane frauds they are.

One must remember that PETA kills and leaves environmental damage. They are dumbfucks supreme.

[quote] Just as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialise cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are and start ‘bringing home the bagels’ instead of the bacon.

Go home, PETA, you're drunk.

I guess wool isn't vegan then if they're making a distinction. These sheep seem to have OK lives, I mean they go out in the green fields all day to run around and eat and then get a haircut a few times a year. I guess some of them get nicked by razors - and that would be cruel.

And please change the name "New York City" to "Nut-Based Cheese."

Brits have next to no idea what PETA even is. It barely registers here. The RSPCA would never try anything so daft.

Those sheep have a better life than I do. A peaceful, pastoral existence, all needs met, free haircuts and once or twice a year a big burly guy bathes you. They're satisfied.
