Honey Boo Boo's pet chicken, which the seven-year-old chose to name "Nugget," has caught the attention of PETA.
In an open letter to the TLC star, whose real name is Alana Thompson, the animal rights organization suggests she rename her new feathered friend "Not a Nugget" in order to "let your fans know that they should be nice to chickens by not eating them."
PETA says it hopes the animal "will show the family and their many fans that chickens are smart, affectionate, and family-oriented birds who deserve better than to be abused and slaughtered."
The group adds, "We’re eager to help the Thompsons switch to healthy, delicious, and humane vegan-chicken nuggets," which "taste just like meat, except no chicken had to die to make them."
PETA also sent Honey Boo Boo a sample of the vegan snack, along with a T-shirt of a chicken saying, "I am not a nugget."
A rep for TLC had no comment on the letter.
What do you think of PETA’s suggestions for Honey Boo Boo and her family .
Just a thought :
Exactly what that little redneck kid names her pet isn't news. Nobody said anything when Paul Newman's daughters named their discented skunk pepe 40 years ago among the other pets they had including dogs cats horses chickens falcons and a weasel. The difference is he and his wife were legitament stars who had clout while this girl is a reality tv trainwreck so nobody could complain when their kids had those as pets .
What you think ? HeHe
