People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to the oldest bar in Britain on Monday demanding that it change its historic name because “Ye Olde Fighting ****” is offensive to chickens.
The pub is Britain’s oldest, according to Guinness World Records, and has had the name since 1872. According to PETA, however, history just doesn't matter when it comes to something this serious.
“We understand that the pub has long been called Ye Olde Fighting ***** and that there may be some resistance to making a name change, but just as many pubs with names tied to slavery changed their names to match modern sensibilities, so it’s high time for The ***** to change.”
