And left to their own devices, they probably would.
In 2009, PETA, the animal rights charity, requested the Pet Shop Boys change their name to the Rescue Shelter Boys to protest against the conditions in pet shops.

In June, I'll be hiking 26 miles, around Ullswater and up Helvellyn, for Alzheimer's Society because our dad is suffering with vascular dementia. Any donations are very welcome in the fight against this heartbreaking condition. justgiving.com/page/gary-aus…

I bet @BBCRadio2 chiefs are thrilled that Ken Bruce is on @BBCBreakfast telling everyone that his new show is essentially the same as his former show. Perhaps @jonkay01 and @NinaWarhurst can go round and retune the nation's radios too 😮

Examiners have not been paid for their work. I would guess hundreds of them. No helpful communication from @AQA whatsoever. Contract terms have been broken. Please retweet? @RogersHistory @TabitaSurge @FunkyPedagogy @educationgovuk @NEUEastMidlands
