PETA calls for the MLB to change term "bullpen" to the "arm barn" to be sensitive to cows

In a press release issued Thursday, PETA called on the MLB to get rid of the ‘outdated’ name and change it to a suggestion that is more “animal-friendly.”

“Words matter, and baseball ‘bullpens’ devalue talented players and mock the misery of sensitive animals,” PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in the release. “PETA encourages Major League Baseball coaches, announcers, players, and fans to changeup their language and embrace the ‘arm barn’ instead.”

PETA said the “bullpen” references where bulls are kept before they are slaughtered. In the MLB, the term is where relief pitchers warm up before the game.
