Durham Bulls Stadium Preferred by PETA

PETA, the organization notorious for going to sometimes blood curdling extremes to champion the cause of animal rights, has decided to call out the Durham Bulls — but it’s not for the reason you’re probably thinking.  No, PETA is not concerned that Durham’s baseball team might be abusing our bovine brothers and sisters around the world by having a bull for its mascot.  No, PETA isn’t worried that the stadium is built in the heart of North Carolina pit cooked barbecue country.  Instead of looking at all the negatives that could be looked at, PETA has decided to call attention to something it considers to be positive about the Durham Bulls Athletic Park:  the fact that it serves vegetarian concessions alongside all those burgers, dogs, and pulled pork sandwiches.  

That’s right, on the menu at the Bulls Athletic Park you’ll find out why it made PETA’s list of the Top 10 Vegetarian-Friendly Minor League Ballparks.  Thanks to that ranking, no one around here needs to arm their adt security against PETA supporters who might be slightly overzealous.  Veggie burgers, veggie hotdogs, sweet potato and black bean burritos, salads, and fresh fruit and berry cups have earned it a big thumbs up.  So, what makes eating vegetables and fruit so much better than eating meat?  Lots of things, actually, besides just kindness to animals.  PETA has produced a great infographic showing why a vegetarian lifestyle is preferable to a carnivorous one.  You can see it below:
