Just heard about this on the radio. PETA madness. Sorry about Wail link...

Daily Wail said:
Activists has called on an eighth century pub to change its name from 'Ye Olde Fighting Cocks' to 'Ye Olde Clever Cocks' to reflect today's compassion for animals.

Animal rights group Peta wants the St Albans pub to adopt a new name to 'celebrate chickens as the intelligent, sensitive animals they are'.
WTF!

I used to run a dating agency for chickens but I had to close it as it wasn't profitable. I just couldn't make hens meet.

my cockerel (who is called nelson, as he only has one eye) is an idiot

his favourite thing is to trip over his own feet, fall over, look surprised and scurry off.

the other day he was attempting the worlds loudest 'cock a doodle do' when he fell backwards off the fence.

the only things he is good at are eating vast amounts of food, and sleeping

With all the animal cruelty that goes on, it would be nice if they focussed on the worst stuff...

Hope they change the name of the pub to "fk off PETA you fking assholes"

So this week they've harassed a farmer for swearing at sheep, and now a pub because it's name is offensive to chickens rofl

My only thought is, to have a pub called 'Ye Olde anything' is such crap.

They should worry about chickens. What about one around here, The Eels Foot. Surely indicative of the local GM crop trials.

Isn't that sanctimonious bell end Paul McCartney a supporter of PETA?
Says it all
Bunch of self righteous delusional idiots
They do nothing to support the cause of correct humane treatment of animals by this crap. In fact I suspect they send it back to the dark ages.

I've discovered the unremarkable truth about newspaper reports: if it sounds too weird to be true, it is not true.

There should be a link to a newspaper report that reads: Person believes what he reads in a newspaper. My first thought would be that that sounds too weird to be true, but, it seems, there are exceptions.

Great headline: poor reporting.
