DALLAS (Reuters) - A vegetarian group wants an Oklahoma town named after a family that helped settle the state to change its name to Veggieville because they think its sounds a lot better than Slaughterville.

The city council of Slaughterville, Oklahoma, a town of about 3,000 in the center of the state, was due to discuss next week the proposal by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

PETA is even offering $20,000 worth of veggie burgers to an area school if the name change goes through.

But town manager Marsha Blair said on Friday the chances of passage were slim to none. "We do not intend to change the name," she told Reuters.

Hell I'll bet that there are a few groups in the Meat Industry that will pay them to change their name to start with Beef, Chicken, or the other White Meat Slaughterville. ;D Then they would probably donate the same to the schools also.

That even rolls off of the tounge better than Veggieville, try it.

Beef Slaughterville
Chicken Slaughterville
The Other White Meat Slaughterville

Then there is my personal favorite,
Come and Slaughterville

I heard a local radio guy interview a guy from PETA about it and the guy is just a plain idiot. The DJ was riding him pretty hard and by the end of the interview the PETAful guy even admitted it was kind of comical thing to be doing but they had to raise awareness somehow. Poor little animals.
