PETA is not happy with IndyCar driver Romain Grosjean after a bird strike during testing

And - I hope you're sitting down for this - PETA is not happy about it.

Afterward, Grosjean laughed off the unfortunate incident, which could've been catastrophic had it not been for the Aeroscreen that IndyCar uses to protect the cockpit.

He handled the aftermath of that with a similar brand of humor, but that's what PETA wasn't happy about.

Relax, Mimi...

Also, let's be real here. You've got to kind of put some blame on the bird that thought the best place to hang out on Tuesday in Indianapolis was in the middle of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with 33 cars on track.

No one is happy that a bird got clobbered by an IndyCar. I think the reaction was more of relief that nothing bad happened because a bird strike at that speed can be dangerous.

And I think we'd all be pretty bummed if our race suits and helmets got covered in bird guts.

PETA always has to come, get their attention and then move on to whining about college football mascots that are treated better than a large percentage of humans on Earth.

However, the bird strike was not the only animal incident from the two-day test.

The second day of running was briefly interrupted by a caution that came out because a fox wandered onto the track.
