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 assume Peta just wants to be in the news? The Sly Old Fox is not an offensive name.
tears in eyes
are you a fox?
sniff
how could you say that's not offensive

PETA's only deal is raising awareness about the existence of PETA.
Pub owner should have said that they were exercising their religious freedom and quoting Jesus in Luke 13:32-34. And then sue PETA on the grounds of religiously motivated harassment.

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.
sly stallone would like a word
Apparently, Ms Allen is neither sly nor clever
People are morons
They're objecting is to the word sly
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?
That's the point, it's a non issue.
