Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell get his lion, from PETA

On the popular “Pardon My Take” podcast, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he wanted an actual Lion at the team facility as a motivational tool.

It was clear that he was joking but there was one organization who did not find quip funny at all, PETA.

So logically, they’re sending Campbell and the Lions — a lion. It’s a plush toy lion, but a lion nonetheless.

“Dan Detroit” is headed to the Allen Park facility as a gift from the animal rights protection group. PETA also sent Campbell a letter regarding his comments about having a lion.
