Just received this a few minutes ago in the e-mail…
Greetings from PETA!
Just minutes ago, PETA sent a letter to Vince McMahon, chair and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), urging him to bring back up-and-coming WWE star Daniel Bryan. We at PETA are adding our voice to the growing chorus of Daniel Bryan fans, not only because he humiliated the Miz and Michael Cole a few weeks back on Raw but also because he’s vegan.
In the letter, PETA points out, “Bryan represents the quintessential vegan badass.” You can find PETA’s letter to Vince McMahon below.
Thanks,
Michael

Dear Mr. McMahon,
On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the WWE fans among our more than 2 million members and supporters, I’m writing to toss our name into the ring as yet another proponent of the push to bring back Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson). I might not personally carry the same clout as other Bryan supporters like John Cena or Shawn Michaels (although I do consider myself “The Showstopper of PETA”), but I am, along with many of my colleagues, a huge Daniel Bryan fan, not only because he humiliated the Miz and Michael Cole a few weeks back on Raw but also because he’s vegan.
Lots of athletes, including baseball slugger Prince Fielder, the NBA’s Raja Bell, MMA fighters K.J. Noons and Mac Danzig, and Olympic Legend Carl Lewis, show that vegetarians often leave meat-eaters in the dust, gnawing on their greasy chicken wings as they wonder what hit them. But Bryan represents the quintessential vegan badass. He knows that unlike WWE superstars, animals beaten to a pulp by the meat industry don’t want to be there. The worst Hell in a Cell match is nothing compared to what animals in slaughterhouses go through, such as having their throats cut and being scalded alive and dismembered, often while still conscious. Even Mick Foley couldn’t withstand that kind of abuse. Just by being vegan, Bryan saves more than 100 animals a year, a feat far more impressive than any of Jack Swagger’s “accomplishments.” Savvy athletes go vegan for the health benefits, too, as they slash their risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
So what do you say, Mr. McMahon? Bring back Bryan and let him prove that he belongs. And maybe there could even be a storyline romance between Bryan and the gorgeous vegan diva Tiffany! (Who, in your PETA fans’ opinion, deserves another shot at Layla.)
Sincerely,
Dan Shannon
Director

Is this a joke? Are you serious? You have got to be freaking kidding. Really? PETA? PETA? Of ALL people, PETA? The People for the Ethnical Treatment of Animals want Bryan Danielson back in the WWE. What kind of BS is that. I’m probably one of the few that is GLAD that Danielson got fired for choking Justin Roberts. He broke a protocal in WWE and he paid the consequences. I’m not freaking happy that there actually are people within WWE that are wanting McMahon to hire Danielson back, but this crosses the line. PETA, of all people, wants Bryan Danielson back just for the fact that he’s a vegan and it “badass.” That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Vince, stick to your guns, don’t hire Danielson back.
Ha ha! I hear ya, Charlie. I really admire PETA, though. They found a way to take a hot online story and use it to advance their message. Brilliant marketing.
Check out this video PETA made: http://meat.org
lol that’s so retarded Larry. hey, if PETA is so against the horrible treatments of animals, how the hell did they get all that footage of cows getting slaughtered at slaughterhouses?
