    I assume Peta just wants to be in the news? The Sly Old Fox is not an offensive name.

      PETA’s only deal is raising awareness about the existence of PETA.

    I’m vegan, and I do honestly think that PETA get a bad rap for their animal shelter work, but their online presence is ridiculous and cringe and it doesn’t surprise me at all that they get ripped to shreds constantly.

      I don’t understand, sly has the definition of “Clever or cunning, especially in the practice of deceit.”
      What’s the issue with saying a fox is sneaky and deceiving?

    Well I hope Ms Allen can untwist her knickers and realize what she is asking is stupid as fuck and not harmful to animals in any capacity.

    Not that I agree with PETA anyway but this does not help animals in the slightest. It’s a waste of funds that could be better spent elsewhere to actually benefit animals.

    They should change the name to the Sly Old Foxtrot Oscar then.
