    It’s a historic pub that has played host to a cast of famous faces including Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy since it opened its doors in 1891.

    But now animal rights activists are demanding the Sly Old Fox in Birmingham change its name because it is “derogatory”, “inaccurate” and “unfair” to foxes.

    People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) is calling on the pub to replace “sly” with “clever” in a bid to reflect society’s “ever-evolving empathy for animals”.

    I think 'sly old fox' is a compliment. Sometimes I think animal rights activists do their cause more harm than good with such silly suggestions.
