PETA wants MLB to rename the term 'bullpen' to 'arm barn'

(Audacy) Managers have been going to the bullpen a lot in the MLB playoffs, and one organization is calling for a change.

No, not about the game -- but rather the term “bullpen” itself.

PETA, the animal rights organization, is proposing that MLB renames the bullpen to a more animal-friendly name. The suggestion?

The arm barn.

“Words matter, and baseball ‘bullpens’ devalue talented players and mock the misery of sensitive animals,” PETA executive vice president Tracy Reima said in a press release. “PETA encourages Major League Baseball coaches, announcers, players and fans to ‘changeup’ their language and embrace the ‘arm barn’ instead.”

In non-baseball terms, a bullpen usually refers to a holding area where bulls are kept before being slaughtered.

PETA noted the cattle are treated brutally — and are hung upside down with their throats slit in the meat industry. Bulls are also kept in “bullpens” during rodeos, where they're “tormented into kicking and bucking by being electro-shocked or prodded,” according to PETA.

There are plenty of issues that baseball needs to address to fix the game, but renaming the bullpen to the “arm barn” doesn't seem like it will be a priority item.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

They're the best at knowing exactly the dumbest things to go after to get people lathered up for publicity. It's really impressive.

The Arm Barn is a great name for a fetish bar.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Not sure I’d refer to my pitchers as waiting in the pen to go to slaughter.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

Its smart honestly. Bad publicity is good pub. What theyre doing when they do things like this doesnt cost them a dime. Much cheaper than fighting companies in court.

What is does is label the brand as loony toons. I would never give a penny in donations to PETA or anyone associated with them.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

We walk, talk, and won't shit our pants

Would you have done so before Arm Barn?
