The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals clicked on the story about Martin Perez having the startled bull that contributed to his broken elbow killed and eaten, but they didn't check with Perez first to understand why he did it before issuing a news release Thursday morning.
PETA, and the media, assumed it was revenge. Texas Rangers left-hander had another answer for the organization.
Perez said that the bull was going to be slaughtered even if it hadn't charged toward him and caused him to fall on his right elbow at his ranch in Venezuela.
