PETA calls for MLB to change the "bullpen" to "arm barn"

In today's day and age, I wouldn't be shocked if the MLB takes this request seriously.
In a Thursday statement, the animal rights group said the term "references the holding area where terrified bulls are kept before slaughter."
...
"Words matter, and baseball 'bullpens' devalue talented players and mock the misery of sensitive animals," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in the statement. "PETA encourages Major League Baseball coaches, announcers, players, and fans to change up their language and embrace the 'arm barn' instead."

Most top relievers are thrown into tough situations, a.k.a. the meat grinder.

I feasted on elk top strap last weekend; it was truly outstanding.

Who knew bulls were "sensitive" beings?

PETA has good overall goals, but their methods to get there are fucked up.

Agreed. This kind of stuff is why no one takes them seriously. How many fucking bulls and cows did they sample to get this opinion?

The other PETA....People for the ethical treatment of Amputees are just fine with bull pen and vehemently object to arm barn.
