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

PETA is worried about a name of her pet nugget, They don't have anything better to do. I find this strange because I just heard on TV, that china is getting there ivory from africa. Now, do I think it is wrong to kill a Elephant for Ivory, yes, Where is PETA on that one.

Somebody should name that kid Butterball and get her off the airwaves.

They are lucky that she did not name the chicken "Colonel Sanders"!

PETA will not be happy until all the human animals are living in caves and eating grass.

A-men!

As always but once again they achieved their goal of getting their cause out there using the free media.

Oh, why do we have such a society that has to bitch (oopsie! Is that derogatory to dogs or something?) about just EVERYTHING? Obviously a child that age doesn't have any idea about the unhappy process whereby a chicken becomes a McNugget (if in fact there is a measurable amount of chicken in it). Most kids don't. (The late humorist Sam Levinson said he and his siblings thought cows laid meatballs like chickens laid eggs.) When it's age-appropriate, kids need to be clued in to the process whereby food comes to their plate; it ain't pretty, and we shouldn't dodge that reality or become insensitive to it (like the dad I know who though it was funny that his kid wanted to name pigs "Chops" and "Bacon").

I don't necessarily demand we all become vegetarians. I'm an old farm girl and know perfectly well about where and how meat originates. I was raised, however, to respect deeply the fact that another being had to die so I could have sustenance, not to waste food in acknowledgement of that sacrifice and the efforts of the people who had to do all the dirty work, and most of all, while that animal was under my stewardship, to take the best care possible of it and to assure as best I could, that its death was swift and humane. Dr. Temple Grandin has done tremendous work on this and I wish the livestock industry would uniformly adopt her recommendations.

Same here and I agree!

Peta people have no regard for human life. They would rather all humans be aborted. They are disgusting hypocrites.

Oh look, a comment conveniently labeled over-reaction.

Complete overreaction. Personally I fans a young girl naming her chicken "nugget" rather adorable actually

its a cute name c:

While I myself am not a fan of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo", I think that this is just ridiculous. I am a vegetarian. I believe in the humane treatment of animals but I do NOT believe in forcing your opinions on other people. Suggesting that she change the name of her pet? Ridiculous. Suggesting that she stop eating meat? Even more ridiculous.

………Bro. If that chicken could talk, I'm sure it wouldn't have happy things to say. Whatchya gonna do with it, EAT it? Girl, no. Find a better name.

...Who's Honey Boo Boo?

I understand, to a degree, but "nugget" is a cute name.

Don't they always??

Who cares what PETA thinks? I mean I don't want to see animals hurt or tortured, but I eat MEAT, I like the look, feel and smell of top quality leather, and I used to make my living tooling leather...I even wore what became my signature gray rabbit fur poor boy hat at one time! So, PETA is once again just knee jerk reacting and/or attempting to grab some sensational headlines...as usual. Again...who cares?

Maybe she wants to eat it once it gets fat?? Perfectly logical. Stay out of people's lives PETA.

....and get fat it will..!

peta is a fascist organization ( joke). nothing they say has validity

In the movie Varsity Blues, Billy Bob had a pig named bacon... what's the big deal. Naming a chicken 'nugget' is funny, not offensive

These idiots think it's fine to capitalize on a cannibalistic murder, and assault cabinet ministers for no reason, yet they bitch about the "plight" of video game animals, and a pet chicken with a goofy name?

i can't get very excited over anything peta gets in a tizzy about. i had a friend who named her pet pig "kalua" Worth a chuckle or two but not unique.

PETA seems to be constantly overreacting. It's a cute name made by a small redneck child. What do they expect? That's kind of like when I was in 4H when I was younger...I had a hog named bacon, and steers named lunch and dinner. But of course, I'm a farm girl, and we eat animals. And they're delicious.

my definition of PETA: People eating tasty animals.
my favorite meats are moose, white tail deer, and buffalo

Too stupid to even comment on......

I'm a huge advocate for animal rights, but I don't recall there being such a category as "name abuse". Call the chicken "Fidel Castro" for all it cares.

omg she named her pet chicken nigget! now people are gonna get the idea chickens are edible! now seeing honey boo boo name her chicken nugget im gonna go to mcdonnalds and order chicken nuggets!!!!

why do they care? hypocrites

As a vegetarian myself, i do care for animals. But seriously PETA? You make us all look bad. Who cares if she names her chicken nugget. Its just cute. Leave her alone.

It's hardly ''Cute'' but it's not offensive to chickens or any sane person.

Hello, where do they think nuggets come from? At least on this issue her parents have educated her about the REAL world!
My parents have chickens and my 4yr old daughter wanted to watch my dad butcher it when it was killed by our dog. She loves animals and had raised them as chicks, but knew at the end of the day they are food, not friends!

and PETA stop forcing people to turn vegan

Damn PETA, get a real life. How many of your members wear any type of leather, and know the exact source of that leather? How many of your members know the exact source of everything that they eat, or buy? Move on to another universe, please!

their leather coms from all the dogs a cats they kill behind closed doors
