Retiring The Nugget April 1, 2008

Posted by Pulin Modi | Permalink | Comments ( 30 ) | TrackBack

Hey everyone, it's probably no shock to you that the day has finally come to put our cute little "Not A Nugget" character to rest. That's right, we're retiring the Nugget after many years of hard work speaking up for animals around the world. He's getting sort of tired and played out and we're tossing around ideas of using more mature animals either way like donkeys and llamas. They're a bit more noble than a baby chicken, don't you think? We want people to get active and cute chickens just don't scream Animal Liberation Now!!!

Anyway, here are some photos by which to remember our good times with the Nugget.

Look for Donny the Donkey, Lucy the Llama, or other new peta2 mascots coming soon!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! D8 I like Nugget... he's so precious....
If you really must replace Nugget it should be a racoon. They're so adorable...
I'm glad I ordered my Nugget stencil when I did.... XI

I think it's a big mistake to get rid of the nugget. And you're going to replace it with a donkey or llama? At least replace it with a cow or pig ot turkey, or something that people actually eat, so you can get the point accross. Non-vegetarians love my nugget shirt and it makes them think!!!

I think you should do what Erika says, Just demote him. Don’t Take him away!!!! I liked the “I am not a nugget� quote

This is an April Fool's Joke, it's gotta be.

APRIL FOOLS!!! right... right???

Posted by: Sarah at April 1, 2008 4:06 PM
                                                               

So wrong! Why re-brand when it is not needed??? And donkeys and llamas??? Yeah, cos all non vegetarians are eating that famous donkey-llama pie! If you are going to change, at least use sheep or pigs as someone suggested earlier.

Ps - Nugget is the mascot for peta 2. Isn't Peta2 supposed to be aimed at a younger audience than Peta? Your logic is a bit skewed!

They aren't going to retire the nugget, at least not while he's still a chick.

Obviously April Fools.

Donkeys and llamas don't get abused as much as chickens. I hope this is an April Fool's joke :)

No, not the nugget.
its friendly and cute.
it helps get the message across to all ages.
who wants to think of a cute little chick being abused and killed?
NOONE.

llamas and donkeys just wont get the point across i think.
i love the nugget.

If you really have to, use another cute animal like a baby fox to promote anti fur and a cutie piggy to promote veganism, I don't know if this is april fools or not, I just joined this site, and am considering giving up meat at least, but from the reactions, this is either a very cruel joke, or just very cruel
