PETA Doesn’t Understand Hockey

At some point, bats are going to learn to stay the hell out of our sporting arenas, but until then we can all enjoy these wacky videos of athletes slaying the winged beasts.  All of us except for people associated with PETA.

Considering this is a junior hockey team and won’t capture nearly as much attention as say, Manu Ginobili, PETA is merely morally perturbed rather than outraged at the bludgeoning of an animal.  The next time a bat comes to pay the Green Bay Gamblers a visit, might PETA make a suggestion:

Tori Perry of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says the team should have tried to net the animal and release it.

Clearly, Tori Perry has never seen a hockey game.  She probably heard someone say something about the net and got the wrong idea.  Hockey players don’t play with nets, Tori, that’s lacrosse.  Hockey players have sticks and sticks do the job as long as the job is slapping a puck, bashing the Irish or clubbing defenseless animals.  Nets, on the other hand, aren’t nearly as versatile.  The NBA’s Nets can barely even win a game.

A fear of rabies was sited as the reason the players attacked the bat so passionately and I wonder if PETA would be as appalled if one of the players had simply let the bat be and was subsequently killed by rabies.  Is that not animal on animal crime as well?  And what about that chimp that disassembled that woman a few months ago?  Where are you on that one, PETA?
