British electro-pop pioneers Pet Shop Boys turned down a request from animal rights group PETA Europe to adopt a more creature-friendly name, the band revealed on their website Thursday.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals suggested Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe rename themselves Rescue Shelter Boys to draw attention to the plight of animals raised in pet shops.

I love animals and I think ethical treatment of animals is a very important cause to work towards but this is just getting ridiculous. With this kind of nonsense PETA is gaining a reputation as a bunch of lunatics instead of a legitimate organization.

A cheap ploy to distract people from the fact the PETA euthanizes animals like it's going out of style.
