PETA Is Mad That Honey Boo Boo Named Her Chicken 'Nugget': Understandable or Overreaction?

Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson has a new pet chicken, but PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) aren’t too happy with the name she has chosen for it: Nugget. According to E!, the organization has sent her a letter suggesting a different name "in order to honor her as your friend and protect other chickens just like her."

The letter, written by PETA rep Michelle Cho, says that “chickens are smart, interesting animals with personalities of their own," and suggests that Alana rename her chicken “Not a Nugget” so that people know that “they should be nice to chickens by not eating them."

Cho also says that Alana doesn’t have to stop eating chicken nuggets, because "there are yummy vegan-chicken nuggets in grocery stores today that taste just like meat.” Perhaps she hasn’t seen “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”? Do you think the letter is understandable or a total overreaction?

    First of all, fie to you PETA for forcing me to take sides with Honey Boo Boo. Your treachery will never be forgotten this day.

    Second, does PETA even take themselves seriously? No one else does.

    I am liberal but I cant stand PETA, they over react to everything meanwhile they kill animals. I cant stand this pig of a little girl either.

    I used to admire PETA but they have become just too too petty. They should stick to the big stuff like factory farming and animal abuse.

    I mean, when we had a farm, we called our annual calf "Hamburger".

    When I kept snakes, we called the mice "Appetizer".

    Guess I am realll bad by PETA terms.

    hahaha

    Please, PETA... explain to me how a brutally honest 7-year-old (I've been raised to the rank of General Obvious!) with such a smile looks interested in eating her pet.

    Wait, never mind that. You proved your incompetence a long time ago. It's practically in your records now, sealed in there forever, and nothing you can do will erase that from your reputation.

    If chickens are indeed "smart, interesting animals with personalities of their own" they'd be doing stand-up by now, PETA. STFU for a change, why don't you?

    As usual with PETA, this is an overreaction. If the child wants to name her chicken "Nugget," then let her. It's no big deal and PETA can get over it. They need to quit trying to make everyone vegan anyway.

    Does it really matter what a little girl names her pet? The real reason they're raising a fuss is because it allows them to jump onto the Honey Boo Boo bandwagon. I mean, their shtick is obviously that they complain about everything, so in order to get on with the Honey Boo Boo fad, they finally found their niche. The very first thing they could jump on.

    Oh, and..."Cho also says that Alana doesn’t have to stop eating chicken nuggets, because 'there are yummy vegan-chicken nuggets in grocery stores today that taste just like meat.'"

    For the vegans who like the taste of meat, but can't stand the thought of eating actual meat. This sounds like an abomination.

    I call my little brother nugget sometimes. That doesn't mean I'm gonna eat him. It's called a pet name. Get over it.

    Your choice!! I believe it is the exploitation of a little kid by her fat assed mom and only goes to feed the idea that all the people of the south are idiots. However, kids are cute and many people might like it on that basis. i won't be watching any time soon.

    Though given the images of the family, I can understand the worry PETA has. They are probably afraid the pet will be eaten.

    this as a silly overreaction.. and i am vegetarian.
    Look at the picture of Alana holding her pet. Look at her face
    she is so openly obviously genuinely happy and feeling love
    does any one seriously think that Alana had ANY bad thoughts
    connected with the name she chose for her pet?

    The PETA people should be ashamed of bothering her.

    She can name her damn chicken anything she wants to.... it's her freakin chicken.

    What the hell is in a name anyway? I'm sure it will taste the same if she named the damn thing pecker head.
