Pubs name is offensive to animals...

[21TonyK]

Good job there's not much of an asylum left for the lunatics to take over!

"The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals group (Peta) wrote to owners of The Sly Old Fox on Hurst Street, Birmingham, saying the name was "derogatory".

(surely we should simply ignore these idiots, not report it on the Beeb)

Presumably the pub’s landlord wrote back ‘Dear PETA, FRO. love, Landlord’

Doesn't bother me.

A fox was asked for comment but decided to have a pitched battle at 2am with a local moggy at full volume for an hour instead.

Fairly sure Foxes cant read, so think they are probably fine with it, and to be honest there are worse names than sly.

They really don't do their cause any favours with dumb stunts like this.

I went to a pub called the Slaughtered Lamb a few months ago.
I had a pie but my wife did have the lamb.

I didn't have to open that link to know exactly what film this was referring to.

Pub near us called the Snooty Fox, does that qualify?

[geeks]

Was it first reported on Fox News?

What tossers.

There’s a pub near where MG used to build cars.
It’s called The Midget after the MG of the same name.

You can guess the rest …

No, it was in the Fox and Hound magazine.

What a load of old bks from an increasingly irrelevant "charity"

Sod this I'm off to the Baited Badger for a pint.

[Glassman]

It's not as offensive as fat-shaming cats...

[Tango13]

Does this mean I have to stop visiting my local 'The White Hart' as I could be considerd racist by association?

[otolith]

PETA thirsty for publicity again. wkers.
