It's only a matter of time until the Tofu Pup hot dog is added to the mix.

 

Indeed. The arrival of "veggie dog" can't be too far away :roll:

I'm pretty sure I've already read about PETA, or somebody similar, petitioning them to add a veggie dog, or tofu.

The Milwaukee Brewers are one of a number of major league teams that feature inane "entertainment" that, in the Brewers' case, features a race between a bratwurst, hot dog, Polish sausage and Italian sausage. The race features people dressed up in costumes who run on the warning track between the sixth and seventh innings.

 

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals recently wrote to the Brewers to ask them to include a vegetarian soy sausage to the race. The Brewers said they have no plan to take PETA up on its suggestion as, "we consider the sausage race a tradition here that we don't really care to change in any way."

 

Good to see PETA going after the really serious important animal-related issues.

 

(2003-07-10) -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has come to the defense of Pittsburgh Pirates player Randall Simon, who faces a misdemeanor charge for using a bat to hit a woman dressed as a giant Italian sausage.

 

The incident happened during Wednesday's "human sausage race" between innings at a Milwaukee Brewers v. Pirates game. The first baseman swatted the immense sausage, which fell to the turf along with a running hotdog.

 

"We empathize with Mr. Simon for wanting to put an end to that grotesque spectacle," said an unnamed spokesman for PETA. "Vegetarians and vegans in the crowd were doubtless offended by the sight of animal carcass forms dashing across the field."

 

PETA offered free legal help to Mr. Simon, and demanded that the Brewers use the "Fruit of the Loom" costumed characters for the races from now on.
