Tapirs Drop Name Change Petition After Court Setback

Tapirs at the Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire, England have dropped their four-year battle to officially change their species name from “tapirs” to the more descriptive “really big awesome pig-like things.”  District court judge Alistair Templeton threw out the petition for name change after several failed appeals. 

A spokesperson for the tapirs said that this was the group’s last attempt.
