PETA Asks Hot Ones Host Sean Evans to Switch to Vegan Wings

Animal rights group PETA has urged Sean Evans, host of the popular interview show Hot Ones, to make vegan wings the default option instead of real chicken wings. The organization argues that switching to plant-based wings would prevent animal suffering, highlighting the harsh conditions chickens face in the meat industry. PETA even offered to name two rescue chickens after Evans if he agrees to the change. Despite the show's existing vegan wing options for guests who request them, many fans voiced opposition on social media, feeling that making vegan wings mandatory would alter the show's core appeal and viewing experience. Evans has not publicly responded to PETA's request, which was formally communicated in a letter by PETA’s senior officer of celebrity relations. The debate continues as the show balances its signature spicy wing challenge with evolving animal welfare concerns.
