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.
Another offensive pub name

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?southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago

An animal rights group has been accused of undermining real issues after asking a pub to change its name, claiming it is offensive to foxes.
You can’t make this shit up.

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

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.
