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.

    Let's see, You do not like what someone said so you threaten them. Then you try to insult another. Then you make a libelous statement accusing a person of drug abuse. OH! I get it, You must be running for a Union leaders position somewhere. btw, this does not count as experience on your resume.

    Ye know, nugget is a term used for anything small and lumpy. Like a nugget of gold for instance...should we ban gold because it reminds us of pureed chickens now?

    I didn't watch the video because I get enough information from local friends who physically go to piggeries where they bash in the skulls of animals to kill them and our port where they export live sheep and protest their treatment.
    They tell me enough to know what barbaric really is. Problem is I am also a leatherworker.
    I don't make fancy things, I am someone who functions in a lifestyle that uses ALL the animal, not just the tasty bits sold in pretty packaging after unseen horrors. I go out into the bush and am learning how to skin vermin (foxes and rabbits that kill off our local wildlife) and use it to make something useful. I eat things shot in the head and instantly killed over anything I can't see how it was killed due to not wanting to eat terror induced hormones.

    My point was that Nugget is a cute term to denote small, lumpy. It's a nugget, hence CHICKEN nuggets, or GOLD nuggets, or even...boy nuggets.

    Gods, if PETA ever found out what some of us name our DOGS (hotdog, bones) they might think we're encouraging the wrong kind of thought too. Nugget is a cute name, nothing more and nothing less.

    Frankly until PETA stop overreacting over every little thing (like the US president swatting a fly when humans DEPEND on killing insects to make the massive amount of crops we eat,...

None of my activist mates like PETA either...they find them to far too odd.

    But most things PETA does is for reaction and not for anything real.

    And I didn't hear about this until this page, I do not watch Honey Boo Boo, but it sounds like something --I-- might name a chicken, I think it's cute.

    1. People eat chicken.
    2. PETA is an insane organization bent on forcing the needs of animals over the needs of humans.
    3. Have they not seen Honey Boo Boo? I bet she eats her weight in fried chicken at least once a week. (I blame the mother for that, though.)
    4. She's a kid. Let her name her pet (future meal) what she wants. XD

    I can understand that Honey Boo Boo is sort of a role model to little kids because for some reason they idolize her. So by naming her chicken "Nugget" the kids could belittle the chicken. However, these are KIDS we are talking about, I doubt they look that deeply into a simple name. if anything they might want to get a pet chicken too. So other than that, adults have a higher thought process and couldnt care less.

    Is PETA is on drugs? They should apologize for harassing children.

    Let me see... I wrote to PETA asking them to protest the killing of unborn children, and they said they are narrowly focused on protecting animals from harm. So where is the harm in a cute name like Nugget? I knew a kid whose dog was named Dammit. Sure was odd to hear the calling, Come here, Dammit.

    I agree that there are MANY things that need to be addressed regarding how we treat animals. Esp. the animals we keep for food. I donate regularly to several animal treatment based charities. But I believe PETA goes beyond this with some of their stances.

    Beat Magnum True Hero: You made my day with your comment! I find it incomprehensible that Honey Boo Boo actually exists, let alone is allowed to live the way she does in the public eye, and yet PETA has an issue with the chicken.
